Sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits
Nature - Experiments with human volunteers and macaques show that expectations produced by probabilistic cueing of future sensory inputs shape motor circuit dynamics in order to increase the...

Human hippocampal ripples align new experiences with a grid-like schema: Neuron www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
Human hippocampal ripples align new experiences with a grid-like schema
Xiao et al. show that brief bursts of hippocampal activity (ripples) help the brain
link new experiences into an internal “mental map.” During rest, ripples engage a
medial frontal brain region that o...

How does the human brain process the continuous world around us and transform it into distinct memories? Our latest research, recently published in Science Advances @science.org, uncovers how brain waves called high frequency oscillations (HFOs) may support this amazing feat! (1/n)

Tracking single neurons in the human brain reveals new insight into language and other human-specific functions
Better technologies to stably monitor cell populations over long periods of time make it possible to study neural coding and dynamics in the human brain.
