The brain is thought to construct an optimal internal model representing the probabilistic structure of the environment accurately. Evidence suggests that spontaneous brain activity gives such a model by cycling through activity patterns evoked by pr...
From visual perception to language, sensory stimuli change their meaning depending on previous experience. Recurrent neural dynamics can interpret stimuli based on externally cued context, but it is unknown whether they can compute and employ interna...
Identifying cell-type-specific enhancers is critical for developing genetic tools to study the mammalian brain. We organized the "Brain Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) Challenge: Predicting Functional Cell Type-Specific Enhancers from Cross-Sp...

Motor sequence learning relies on the synergistic collaboration of multiple brain regions. However, most existing models for motor sequence learning primarily focus on functional-level analyses of sequence memory mechanisms, providing limited neuroph...
Huntington's Disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin (HTT). While normal HTT function appears impacted by the mutation, the specific pathways unique to CAG repeat expansion versus loss of normal function are u...
Exploring natural or pharmacologically induced brain dynamics, such as sleep, wakefulness, or anesthesia, provides rich functional models for studying brain states. These models allow detailed examination of unique spatiotemporal neural activity patt...
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) might impact the complexity of cerebral cortex, and the underlying biological mechanisms responsible for cortical changes in the AD cortex remain unclear.

The electrophysiological findings have shown that epileptiform spikes triggering sleep spindles within 1[Formula: see text]s across multiple channels are commonly observed during sleep in focal epilepsy (FE). Such spatio-temporal couplings of spikes ...
Neurons in cortical networks are very sparsely connected; even neurons whose axons and dendrites overlap are highly unlikely to form a synaptic connection. What is the relevance of such sparse connectivity for a network's function? Surprisingly, it h...
Examining the altered arrangement and patterning of sulcal folds offers insights into the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental differences in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Previous sulcal pattern analysis used spectral graph matching of sulcal ...
