The human brain undergoes a prolonged period of cortical development that spans multiple
decades. During childhood and adolescence, cortical development progresses from lower …

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are inspired by information processing in biology, where
sparse and asynchronous binary signals are communicated and processed in a massively …

The anatomy of the brain necessarily constrains its function, but precisely how remains
unclear. The classical and dominant paradigm in neuroscience is that neuronal dynamics …

The isocortex and hippocampal formation (HPF) in the mammalian brain play critical roles in
perception, cognition, emotion, and learning. We profiled∼ 1.3 million cells covering the …

The mammalian cortex is a laminar structure containing many areas and cell types that are
densely interconnected in complex ways, and for which generalizable principles of …

This perspective describes predictive processing as a computational framework for
understanding cortical function in the context of emerging evidence, with a focus on sensory …

Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-
output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms …

Studies of large-scale brain organization have revealed interesting relationships between
spatial gradients in brain maps across multiple modalities. Evaluating the significance of …

Functional MRI and electrophysiology studies suggest that consciousness depends on large-
scale thalamocortical and corticocortical interactions. However, it is unclear how neurons in …
