Sensing with the Motor Cortex [PDF]
The primary motor cortex is a critical node in the network of brain regions responsible for voluntary motor behavior. It has been less appreciated, however, that the motor cortex exhibits sensory responses in a variety of modalities including vision and ...

The role of temporal cortex in the control of attention [PDF]
Attention is an indispensable component of active vision. Contrary to the widely accepted notion that temporal cortex processing primarily focusses on passive object recognition, a series of very recent studies emphasize the role of temporal cortex structures, specifically the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and inferotemporal (IT) cortex, in guiding ...

Sparse coding models of natural images and sounds have been able to predict several response properties of neurons in the visual and auditory systems. While the success of these models suggests that the structure they capture is universal across domains ...

Contextual modulation of primary visual cortex by auditory signals [PDF]
Early visual cortex receives non-feedforward input from lateral and top-down connections (Muckli & Petro 2013 Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 23, 195–201. (doi:10.1016/j.conb.2013.01.020)), including long-range projections from auditory areas.

Fully autonomous mouse behavioral and optogenetic experiments in home-cage
Goal-directed behaviors involve distributed brain networks. The small size of the mouse brain makes it amenable to manipulations of neural activity dispersed across brain areas, but existing optogenetic methods serially test a few brain regions at a time,

The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex [PDF]
We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex can be seen as fundamentally premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the prefrontal cortex consists of an action abstraction hierarchy whose core function is the potentiation and depotentiation of possible action plans at different levels of granularity.

Differential rates of perinatal maturation of human primary and nonprimary auditory cortex [PDF]
Primary and nonprimary cerebral cortex mature along different timescales; however, the differences between the rates of maturation of primary and nonprimary cortex are unclear.

Resting State Functional Connectivity of the Rat Claustrum
The claustrum is structurally connected with many cortical areas.A major hurdle standing in the way of understanding claustrum function is the difficulty in assessing the global functional connectivity (FC) of this structure.

Topographic Deep Artificial Neural Networks (TDANNs) predict face selectivity topography in primate inferior temporal (IT) cortex [PDF]
Deep convolutional neural networks are biologically driven models that resemble the hierarchical structure of primate visual cortex and are the current best predictors of the neural responses measured along the ventral stream. However, the networks lack topographic properties that are present in the visual cortex, such as orientation maps in primary ...

The pernicious danger of cortical brain maps [PDF]
The parcellation of the primate cerebral cortex into numbered regions, based on cytoarchitecture, began with the pioneering research of neuroanatomist Kobrinian Brodmann. While the borders between regions have changed somewhat, and in some cases continue to be disputed, the idea of dividing the cortex into distinct numbered areas has become central to ...
