Gradient-descent synaptic plasticity applied to neuroscience categorization tasks captures the behaviour of common neural activity measures (category and context selectivity, correlation, asymmetry) reported in experiments, and makes novel experimental predictions.

Psychophysical measurements using time pressure indicate that when attention is willfully deployed, a congruent scaccade is automatically planned, but the coupling is weak and can be rapidly broken.

Yuxisaurus represents the first unambiguous armored dinosaur to be recovered from the Lower Jurassic of Asia, confirming the rapid geographic spread and diversification of the armored dinosaurs throughout the northern hemisphere early in their evolution.

Distinct computational levels of uncertainty compel agents to gain information about hidden states in the world (‘active inference’) or optimise their ‘world model’ as such (‘active learning’).

Deciding which of two perceptual decisions is more difficult involves sequential sampling processes that terminate when the difference in accumulated evidence for each decision exceeds a threshold.

Long-latency reflexes flexibly encode future goals during sequential reaching movements, reflecting the parallel and task-dependent processing of a sequence of goals in circuits that mediate fast feedback control.

A single framework of bounded evidence accumulation resolves the seemingly paradoxical effects of noise on accuracy, reaction time and confidence.

The fidelity of 3D visual object representations, choice-related activity, and experience-dependent sensorimotor associations are functionally linked in the caudal intraparietal area.

When all features of conflicting sensory input are task-irrelevant, the brain can still process its sensory information, whereas conflict detection requires that minimally one stimulus feature is task-relevant or associated with a response.

Individual differences in generalization of aversive value (but not safety information) during human active avoidance learning specifically predict experience of anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
