New results! The prefrontal cortex uses a compact, low-dimensional “coding space”. Information can be captured in just 3–6 dimensions. The brain compresses what we remember.

I was happy to be a part.
The cortex is not best understood as a set of fully separate, self-contained modules. Instead, regions work together in a more integrated, network-like way.

This results from a continual reduction in dimensionality and the organization of incoming signals via predictive feedback.

Circuit-level computational models can do more than explain existing data; they can generate novel hypotheses and capture individual differences in human populations. We demonstrate this using a bioph...
Categorization, the grouping of objects, living organisms, actions or events into equivalence clusters, is fundamental to adaptive behaviour. In this Perspective, Barrett and Miller discuss evidence t...
