Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have undergone a revolution, catalyzed by better supervised
learning algorithms. However, in stark contrast to young animals (including humans), …

Early stages of visual processing may exploit the characteristic structure of natural visual
stimuli. This structure may differ from the intrinsic structure of natural scenes, because sampling …

Neurons in the primary auditory cortex are tuned to the intensity and specific frequencies of
sounds, but the synaptic mechanisms underlying this tuning remain uncertain. Inhibition …

Perceptual decisions are based on the activity of sensory cortical neurons, but how organisms
learn to transform this activity into appropriate actions remains unknown. Projections from …

Cortical neurons in the waking brain fire highly irregular, seemingly random, spike trains in
response to constant sensory stimulation, whereas in vitro they fire regularly in response to …

The principle function of the central nervous system is to represent and transform information
and thereby mediate appropriate decisions and behaviors. The cerebral cortex is one of the …

To elucidate molecular, cellular, and circuit changes that occur in the brain during learning,
we investigated the role of a glutamate receptor subtype in fear conditioning. In this form of …

Neuroscience has long been an essential driver of progress in artificial intelligence (AI). We
propose that to accelerate progress in AI, we must invest in fundamental research in NeuroAI…

How do neuronal populations in the auditory cortex represent acoustic stimuli? Although
sound-evoked neural responses in the anesthetized auditory cortex are mainly transient, recent …

Although motion-sensitive neurons in macaque middle temporal (MT) area are conventionally
characterized using stimuli whose velocity remains constant for 1–3 s, many ecologically …
