Nearly all psychiatric diseases involve alterations in subjective, lived experience. The
scientific study of the biological basis of mental illness has generally focused on objective …

Developments in microfabrication technology have enabled the production of neural electrode
arrays with hundreds of closely spaced recording sites, and electrodes with thousands of …

Neural responses are modulated by brain state, which varies with arousal, attention, and
behavior. In mice, running and whisking desynchronize the cortex and enhance sensory …

Shared, trial-to-trial variability in neuronal populations has a strong impact on the accuracy
of information processing in the brain. Estimates of the level of such noise correlations are …

Despite great efforts over several decades, our best models of primary visual cortex (V1) still
predict spiking activity quite poorly when probed with natural stimuli, highlighting our limited …

Attention is commonly thought to improve behavioral performance by increasing response
gain and suppressing shared variability in neuronal populations. However, both the focus and …

Variability in neuronal responses to identical stimuli is frequently correlated across a population.
Attention is thought to reduce these correlations by suppressing noisy inputs shared by …

Favors from a sender to a receiver are known to bias decisions made by the recipient,
especially when the decision relates to the sender, a feature of social exchange known as …

Divisive normalization (DN) is a prominent computational building block in the brain that
has been proposed as a canonical cortical operation. Numerous experimental studies have …

The critique of Barth et al. centers on three points: (i) the completeness of our study is
overstated; (ii) the connectivity matrix we describe is biased by technical limitations of our brain-…
