Serotonergic input to visual cortex controls ongoing and evoked activity in a separable manner via distinct receptor pathways.

Spontaneous bilateral fluctuations add with evoked cortical activity and explain much of the variability in sensory responses.

The caudate region of the brain signals the context in which sensory evidence is evaluated, helping animals to adapt their behavior to changing conditions.

Prospective navigational goals are represented by single neuron firing rates and firing relative to slow oscillatory phase (phase coding) in the human medial temporal lobe.

Motoneuron activity provides feedback to the spinal network responsible for generating locomotion in the developing mouse spinal cord.

Theta oscillations synchronize perception with the emerging motor intention in an automatic and task-independent way.

Neural and network activity within a pontine-cortical micturition circuit are finely coordinated with urodynamics to assure appropriate voiding behaviors.

Enhanced perceptual discrimination occurs when ongoing population activity in visual cortex is in a 'silent' mode in which neurons optimize information extraction.

Analysis and modelling of sensorimotor neural activity shows how ongoing plasticity and appropriately tuned weights can cope with substantial ongoing changes in the neural code.

Active expiration in anesthetized rats is driven by the lateral parafacial region, but requires an additional form of excitation from another source.
