The population doctrine in cognitive neuroscience

RB Ebitz, BY Hayden - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses

MJ McGinley, M Vinck, J Reimer, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

[HTML][HTML] A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection

BK Hulse, H Haberkern, R Franconville… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Discrete attractor dynamics underlies persistent activity in the frontal cortex

HK Inagaki, L Fontolan, S Romani, K Svoboda - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Short-term memories link events separated in time, such as past sensation and future
actions. Short-term memories are correlated with slow neural dynamics, including selective …

Scale-free brain activity: past, present, and future

BJ He - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2014 - cell.com
Brain activity observed at many spatiotemporal scales exhibits a 1/f-like power spectrum,
including neuronal membrane potentials, neural field potentials, noninvasive …

Maintaining and updating accurate internal representations of continuous variables with a handful of neurons

M Noorman, BK Hulse, V Jayaraman, S Romani… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Many animals rely on persistent internal representations of continuous variables for working
memory, navigation, and motor control. Existing theories typically assume that large …

Slow cortical dynamics and the accumulation of information over long timescales

CJ Honey, T Thesen, TH Donner, LJ Silbert… - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
Making sense of the world requires us to process information over multiple timescales. We
sought to identify brain regions that accumulate information over short and long timescales …

Bump attractor dynamics in prefrontal cortex explains behavioral precision in spatial working memory

K Wimmer, DQ Nykamp, C Constantinidis… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Prefrontal persistent activity during the delay of spatial working memory tasks is thought to
maintain spatial location in memory. A'bump attractor'computational model can account for …

The what, where and how of delay activity

KK Sreenivasan, M D'Esposito - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2019 - nature.com
Working memory is characterized by neural activity that persists during the retention interval
of delay tasks. Despite the ubiquity of this delay activity across tasks, species and …

A comparison of neuronal population dynamics measured with calcium imaging and electrophysiology

Z Wei, BJ Lin, TW Chen, K Daie… - PLoS computational …, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Calcium imaging with fluorescent protein sensors is widely used to record activity in
