Mental codes that track our position within complex, behavioral sequences, have been hard to pin down empirically, but can be identified and traced over time using oscillatory EEG activity.
A non-invasive cognitive assistant for blind people endows objects in the environment with voices, allowing users to explore the scene, localize objects, and navigate through a building with minimal training.
Fruit fly larvae adapt their decision-making process to the variability of the environment, illuminating the structure of adaptation in the underlying neural substrates.

Hippocampal area CA2 controls low gamma and ripple oscillations, brain waves known to be impaired in schizophrenia, implicating this important brain region in cognition.
Genetic and electrophysiological experiments define how homeostatic signaling stabilizes both the gain and short-term dynamic properties of neurotransmitter release, ensuring that synaptic information transfer remains robust to external perturbation.
