What lies between grey and white in the brain
Traditionally, neuroscience regards the brain as being made up of two basic tissue types. Billions of neurons make up the...
Inhibition within a premotor circuit controls the timing of...
Vocal turn-taking is a fundamental organizing principle of human conversation but the neural circuit mechanisms that...
How a Bird Brain Times Tweets
Inhibitory neurons in the zebra finch brain control coordinated vocal interactions Zebra finches can take turns when...
Neural networks in the spotlight
Scientists develop a computational model to predict and interpret the outcome of optogenetic experiments. Optogenetic...
Neurotelemetry Reveals Putative Predictive Activity in HVC...
Premotor predictions facilitate vocal interactions. Here, we study such mechanisms in the forebrain nucleus HVC (proper...
Individual differences in the brain
If selection reinforces a behavior, brain activities soon change as well Personality varies widely. There are bold and...
Against the Epistemological Primacy of the Hardware: The Brain...
Before he wrote the recent book The Brain from Inside Out, the neuroscientist György Buzsáki previewed some of the...
Motion patterns instead of pixels
Higher brain areas receive a functional rather than realistic view of the environment Every moment, our eyes receive...
