Firing rate nonlinearity recovers linear decodability of orientation information from simple cells of the primary visual cortex under uncertainty of nuisance parameters phase and spatial frequency.

To make reliable but metabolically efficient perceptual inferences in a changing world, neural systems should dynamically adapt based on surprise and uncertainty about the sensory environment.

Novel stimulation patterns and large-scale neural activity recording show that an input-specific supra-linear summation synthesizes a sparse, but comprehensive code of tactile and visual stimuli in the sensory cortex.

Large-scale mapping of sensory input to the mouse olfactory bulb reveals exceptionally narrow tuning of olfactory receptor input to glomeruli and defines a functional map of glomerular sensitivities that is structured with respect to olfactory chemical space.

Precisely sequenced patterns of neuronal activity associated with the production of a skilled behavior begin and end as part of orchestrated activity across functionally diverse populations of cortical premotor neurons.

Infants' vocalisations are contingent on their own stress physiology, and alter the inter-personal dynamics of how stress states are shared across the infant-caregiver dyad.

By participating in the microglomerular microcircuit in the Drosophila mushroom body calyx, the anterior paired lateral neuron normalizes odour-evoked representations at the calyx via inhibition proportional to the input strength and localized to the regions where those inputs are positioned.

A computational model of the opponent neural architecture the basal ganglia, in tandem with adaptive dopamine modulation, exhibits robust advantages over traditional learning algorithms and ties together seemingly aberrant behavioral patterns resulting from dopamine and environmental manipulations across species.

Molecular genetic identity is a vital but unexplored axis of functional organization in the brainstem periaqueductal gray.

Computational and theoretical analyses offer novel and unexpected insight into how complex, naturally occurring odor mixtures are parsed and normalized at the very first stage of olfaction.
