Computational modeling shows how neural mechanisms for mitigating biological constraints (such as neurons’ limited firing range) may eventually result in complex though predictable irrational behavior.
The visual information walkers use for path selection during locomotion was revealed by analysis of a three-dimensional numerical representation of the natural terrain.
The perception of ambiguous steps in relative tone height is predicted by direction-selective cells in the auditory cortex, rather than the brain's represented distance between the tone heights.
Motor units within a pool exhibit distinct rate coding as force levels change, highlighting how gain control can transform inputs with limited bandwidth into the desired muscle force.
