Frontal Eye Field (FEF) and Parietal Eye Field (PEF) have both been involved in the control of saccades but the role of these regions for vector inversion is still not clear. Recent evidence suggested that after FEF ...

Tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons in the hypothalamus inhibit prolactin release from the pituitary by secreting dopamine into the portal vessels of the median eminence. In whole cell recordings in male rat ...

Unlike generic spiking neural networks, networks with stable irregular dynamics are stable against small perturbations. Furthermore, big networks were shown have a state space fractured in flux tubes. We describe the novel ...

Conceptual knowledge has been suggested to be represented in sparse networks of 'concept cells' in the medial tempora! lobe (MTL), following the discovery of cells that selectively fire in response to a single concept in ...

The age-related functional reorganization is a long-standing theory in the aging literature due to the evidence showing hyperactivity in multiple brain regions in older adults. However, the underlying neural mechanism ...

Interaction with objects is a skill that humans master. Rapidly developing touchscreen technology adds a new computational challenge to this expertise by allowing us to interact with virtual three-dimensional (3D) objects. ...

The hippocampus is essential to our ability to navigate our environment. Rodent research on the underlying hippocampal code has revealed specialized place, grid, and head direction cells. Recent studies showed that humans ...

Neuronal replay of recent wake experiences during sleep is thought to be an important concept in memory consolidation. Evidence for replay dur- ing human sleep is sparse, however, due to the high number of learning experiences ...

In sensory neuroscience the tracking of behavior and sensory input allows quantitative analysis of the information that the brain utilizes to generate the internal percept of the stimulus in the periphery. So far behavioral ...

Predicting future states of the environment enables us to act rapidly and efficiently in the world around us. According to predictive coding theories, mismatches between our expectations and incoming sensory inputs are ...
