Neural sensory representations impose an inductive bias over the space of learning tasks, allowing some tasks to be learned by a downstream neuron more sample-efficiently than others.

When a person listens to music, their brain continually predicts upcoming notes, based on that person's likely lifelong musical experience.

A novel experimental approach reveals how mechanical force acting on the skin is converted into electrical signaling in sensory neurons to evoke the sensation of touch.

Automated computational unfolding of the hippocampus allows analyses at its mesoscale and facilitates novel discoveries in the study of cognition and disease.

Single-cell analysis of injured mouse sciatic nerves reveals rapid reprogramming of macrophages toward a glycolytic, proinflammatory phenotype during the early repair process.

A synthesis of 20+ years of experimental studies on 'splitter cells' in the hippocampus reveals that signature properties of (1) temporal context models and (2) latent state inference are both needed to account for the data.

Hextuple knockout of key active zone proteins strongly reduces the pool of synaptic vesicles available for release, but synapse formation persists.

Drosophila larvae foraging adapt to different food quality and distributions modulating specific motor programs, as revealed by behavioral and modeling experiments.

A synaptic circuit through which 'what' streams of information associated with the lateral entorhinal cortex may influence 'where' streams of information associated with the medial entorhinal cortex prior to their integration in the hippocampus.

Emotional learning retroactively promotes memory integration for previously neutral events into episodic memory to foster future event predictions, through rapidly stimulating trial-specific reactivation of overlapping memory traces and reorganization of associated memories among the amygdala, hippocampal, and neocortical circuits.
