In a forced-choice auditory discrimination task, mice are more accurate if neural activity in the auditory cortex in the pre-stimulus baseline is higher and more desynchronized, but only if the previous trial was an error.

When exposed to sound sequences, humans compute biased transition probabilities between elements, extract the underlying network structure, and even generalize missing data.

Non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the greater occipital nerve using direct current promotes strengthening of memories using late-phase synaptic activity.

Simple modifications to early stages of the visual hierarchy, such as gain changes, can induce complex effects on later stages, but only gain is both necessary and sufficient to explain enhanced perception during spatial attention.

A nonlinear deep generative model can represent fetal–neonatal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging better than conventional linear models.

Cortical cholinergic and noradrenergic signaling contains a strong low-frequency component that is distributed across the mouse cortex and is related to the behavioral state of the animal.

Impoverished access to natural human language during early childhood reduces semantic structure encoding in the left dorsal anterior temporal lobe, which provides positive evidence for the role of language in forming specific neural semantic representations in the human brain.

Although courtship vocalizations are unique to each species, the basic architecture of the neural circuitries underlying this behavior is conserved among closely related species of frogs, suggesting behavior can diverge while utilizing the homologous neural network inherited through evolutionary lineage.

The juvenile barn owl displays wide heterogeneity in tuning properties in the auditory midbrain, which is shaped during development to match the pattern of sensory statistics experienced in early life and maintained into adulthood.

Early-life experiences and neuromodulatory mechanisms shape discontinuous behavioral plasticity across developmental stages and modify the spectrum of long-term individuality patterns within isogenic populations.
