animal brains. Nat Commun 10, 3770 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11786-6 …

Cellular barcoding is a technique in which individual cells are labeled with unique nucleic
acid sequences, termed barcodes, so that they can be tracked through space and time. …

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 …

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 …

… The authors would like to thank Michael Wehr as well as all of the members of the Zador
laboratory for many useful discussions and comments on the manuscript. TH was an Engelhorn …

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 …

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 …

In the auditory cortex, brief sounds elicit a powerful suppression of responsiveness that can
persist for hundreds of milliseconds. This forward suppression (sometimes also called …

Neurons are often assumed to operate in a highly unreliable manner: a neuron can signal
the same stimulus with a variable number of action potentials. However, much of the …

… This observation is also in accord with recent results comparing callosally-projecting (layer
3) neurons with non-projecting neurons in layer 2 (Oviedo and Zador, unpublished). Taken …
