The paper investigates how dopaminergic neurons in the fly mushroom body encode sensory valence and behavioral state through population activity.

The paper shows how heterosynaptic plasticity calibrates excitatory and inhibitory inputs onto pyramidal neurons to achieve excitatory-inhibitory balance.

The paper investigates how functional diversity in sensory neurons improves information processing by applying efficient coding principles to model optimal population coding of sensory variables.

The paper shows that hungry Drosophila use a neural circuit involving dopamine and octopamine to balance perseverance and withdrawal during food seeking.

This study shows that V1 neurons maintain stable firing rates during expected light-dark transitions but respond to unexpected changes, with correlations during natural vision being more informative than individual rates.

The paper shows that sensory deprivation alters both feedforward and feedback excitation-inhibition ratios in layer 4 of V1, with feedback inhibition primarily causing reduced visual responsiveness.

This paper reviews theoretical neuroscience progress on neural circuit development, focusing on spatiotemporal activity patterns and computational models.
