Epidemiological studies identify midlife hearing loss as an independent risk factor for
dementia, estimated to account for 9% of cases. We evaluate candidate brain bases for this …

The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader
function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing …

Animals associate cues with outcomes and update these associations as new information is
presented. This requires the hippocampus, yet how hippocampal neurons track changes in …

This paper studies the curious phenomenon for machine learning models with Transformer
architectures that their activation maps are sparse. By activation map we refer to the …

Neurons in the hippocampus exhibit a striking selectivity for specific combinations of sensory
features, forming representations that are thought to subserve episodic memory. Even …

Interneurons expressing cholecystokinin (CCK) and parvalbumin (PV) constitute two key
GABAergic controllers of hippocampal pyramidal cell output. Although the temporally …

During sensory-guided behavior, an animal's decision-making dynamics unfold through
sequences of distinct performance states, even while stimulus-reward contingencies remain …

Hippocampal place cells underlie spatial navigation and memory. Remarkably, CA1
pyramidal neurons can form new place fields within a single trial by undergoing rapid …

Associative memories guide behavioural adaptation by binding together outcome-predictive
sensory stimuli,. However, in a feature-rich environment, only a subset of stimuli may predict …

Primary sensory cortex has long been believed to play a straightforward role in the initial
processing of sensory information. Yet, the superficial layers of cortex overall are sparsely …
