The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

To explain how the brain orchestrates information-processing for cognition, we must
understand information itself. Importantly, information is not a monolithic entity. Information …

Attention is critical to high-level cognition and attention deficits are a hallmark of neurologic
and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although years of research indicates that distinct …

Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

Of the various attempts to generalize information theory to multiple variables, the most
widely utilized, interaction information, suffers from the problem that it is sometimes negative …

How the brain encodes information in population activity, and how it combines and
manipulates that activity as it carries out computations, are questions that lie at the heart of …

Parkinson's disease is a common and disabling disorder of movement owing to
dopaminergic denervation of the striatum. However, it is still unclear how this denervation …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

To a large extent, progress in neuroscience has been driven by the study of single-cell
responses averaged over several repetitions of stimuli or behaviours. However, the brain …
