How is the massive dimensionality and complexity of the microscopic constituents of the
nervous system brought under sufficiently tight control so as to coordinate adaptive …

Sub-additivity and variability are ubiquitous response motifs in the primary visual cortex (V1).
Response sub-additivity enables the construction of useful interpretations of the visual …

Recurrent cortical activity sculpts visual perception by refining, amplifying or suppressing
visual input. However, the rules that govern the influence of recurrent activity remain …

Peripheral sensory organ damage leads to compensatory cortical plasticity that is
associated with a remarkable recovery of cortical responses to sound. The precise …

Understanding the plasticity of neuronal networks is an emerging field of (patho-)
physiological research, yet the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood …

In the CA1 hippocampus, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-expressing interneurons (VIP-
INs) play a prominent role in disinhibitory circuit motifs. However, the specific behavioral …

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a key site where fear learning takes place through
synaptic plasticity. Rodent research shows prominent low theta (~ 3–6 Hz), high theta (~ 6 …

Cortical dynamics and computations are strongly influenced by diverse GABAergic
interneurons, including those expressing parvalbumin (PV), somatostatin (SST), and …

Cortical circuit function is regulated by extensively interconnected, diverse populations of
GABAergic interneurons that may play key roles in sha** circuit operation according to …

Synaptic inhibition is the mechanistic backbone of a suite of cortical functions, not the least
of which is maintaining overall network stability as well as modulating neuronal gain. Past …
