A novel Bayesian method of modeling retinotopic maps is more accurate than traditional voxel-wise methods and can be used to automatically derive high-quality maps.

Stimulus representation in primary visual cortex rebounds to its original state following therapeutic sensory deprivation in adults.

Measures of visuocortical activity during aversive generalization learning revealed sharpened representations of facial identity, reflecting inhibitory interactions between neuronal populations that represent facial features associated with threat versus safety.

Novel evidence for a role of feedback in the perception of uniform surfaces in the human brain suggests that feedback already re-enters at an early visual processing stage.

Populations of neurons in the macaque visual cortex are subject to shared fluctuations in gain; these signals exhibit anatomical and functional structure, and their variability is diminished under attention.

Evidence of an interaction between expected reward size and visual cortical microstimulation indicates that expected reward can affect sensory representations.

The study of sleep following monocular deprivation has shown that sleep slow oscillations and spindles occurring during non-REM sleep have a role in homeostatic ocular dominance plasticity even in the adulthood, beyond synaptic homeostatic hypothesis that applies to Hebbian phenomena.

Psychophysical measurement and computational modeling show that sensory information cannot contribute directly to a cognitive judgment, but must first be integrated into resource-limited working memory.

Coupling between the gastric rhythm and brain activity at rest reveals a novel resting-state network, characterized by delayed functional connectivity.

Single-unit recordings from cortical neurons in behaving macaque monkeys expose differential aspects of multisensory plasticity across different multisensory areas during visual–vestibular recalibration.
