The neural response to natural speech and music processing is mostly shared between the domains, with additional evidence for selectivity in distributed (i.e. not regional) and frequency-specific neural activity.

Brain-machine interfacing was used to align trials with heightened prefrontal-hippocampal oscillatory synchronization on spatial working memory-dependent and -independent tasks, and these trials were associated with correct choices.

Behavioral and circuit analyses show that changes to energetic demand are a key driver of consolidation of daily sleep and feeding patterns as animals mature.

Adaptation within a continuous attractor neural network explains theta phase precession and procession, providing insight into the neural mechanism of theta phase coding in the hippocampus.

Motivated animals learn to put in more effort and ignore distractions to reach their goals due to increased neural activity in the frontal cortex.

A novel Aβ-driven inhibitory mechanism on γ-secretases, which leads to substrate accumulation and reduced release of products, contributes to neurotoxicity by impairing γ-secretase signaling and might operate in Alzheimer’s disease.

Biologically plausible levels of myelin dystrophy induce substantial working memory impairment in a computational model of brain aging across two spatial and temporal scales.

When new and past experiences are similar, the memories of those experiences are stored together, and when new and past experiences are different, the memories of those experiences are stored separately.

Fitting our terrestrial niche, the human visual system adopts a ground-based reference frame for spatial computation in concert with the attention, memory, and path-integration processes for space perception during self-motion.

The process of transformation of a transient experience into a memory is neither restricted to the time of the experience nor to the synapses triggered by it, but it can be influenced by past and future events.
