This study shows that neural representational geometry in ventral temporal cortex adapts gradually to task demands, supporting behavioral flexibility within sensory cortex.

The paper identifies simplex-shaped neural manifolds for number representation in the human medial temporal lobe and finds similarities with large language models.

The paper shows orientation coding re-emerges in primate IT cortex and deep networks through functional hubs, not redundancy, highlighting their role in integrative visual processing.

The paper shows hippocampal neurons encode meanings of spoken and heard words using shared geometric embeddings, enabling abstract cross-personal representations while preserving speaker identity binding.

The paper shows that predictive context enhances separability of neural activity patterns in the macaque face-processing hierarchy by transforming representations from lower to higher areas.

The paper identifies a regulatory element in the FAT1 gene deleted in muscular dystrophy patients and shows it drives expression in muscle and mesenchymal cells in transgenic mice.
