The learning and recognition of object features from unregulated input has been a longstanding challenge for artificial intelligence systems. Brains, on the other hand, are adept at learning stable sensory representations given noisy observations, a ...

As humans rely on social groups for survival, social motivation is central to behavior and well-being. Here we define social motivation as the effort that initiates and directs behavior towards social outcomes, with the goal of satisfying our fundame...
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...

The spiking neural network (SNN) training with spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) for image classification usually requires a lot of neurons to extract representative features and(or) needs an external classifier. Conventional bio-inspired lear...
BACKGROUND: The Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) is an essential contributor to high-level visual processing despite being an early subcortical area in the visual system. Current LGN computational models focus on its basic properties, with less empha...
Although the cerebellum is typically associated with supervised learning algorithms, it also exhibits extensive involvement in reward processing. In this study, we investigated the cerebellum's role in executing reinforcement learning algorithms, wit...
The ability to process visual stimuli rich with motion represents an essential skill for animal survival and is largely already present at the onset of vision. Although the exact mechanisms underlying its maturation remain elusive, spontaneous activi...

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...
