Neurons are often considered specialized functional units that encode a single variable.
However, many neurons are observed to respond to a mix of disparate sensory, cognitive, and …

The hippocampal CA2 region is essential for social memory. To determine whether CA2
activity encodes social interactions, we recorded extracellularly from CA2 pyramidal neurons (…

From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental perturbations
as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behavior have aimed to understand …

Implementing compact, low-power artificial neural processing systems with real-time on-line
learning abilities is still an open challenge. In this paper we present a full-custom mixed-…

Neuromorphic computing systems comprise networks of neurons that use asynchronous
events for both computation and communication. This type of representation offers several …

Several analog and digital brain-inspired electronic systems have been recently proposed
as dedicated solutions for fast simulations of spiking neural networks. While these …

Animals associate cues with outcomes and update these associations as new information is
presented. This requires the hippocampus, yet how hippocampal neurons track changes in …

The firing rates of individual neurons displaying mixed selectivity are modulated by multiple
task variables. When mixed selectivity is nonlinear, it confers an advantage by generating a …

Flocking is a paradigmatic example of collective animal behaviour, where global order
emerges out of self-organization. Each individual has a tendency to align its flight direction with …

Animals must discern important stimuli and place them onto their cognitive map of their
environment. The neocortex conveys general representations of sensory events to the …
