Cerebellar activity is triggered by reach endpoint during learning of a complex locomotor task

This study investigates how cerebellar activity encodes paw movements during a complex locomotor task, finding that cerebellar circuits are tightly aligned with step cycle events.

Disentangling Mixed Classes of Covariability in Large-Scale Neural Data

This paper introduces sliceTCA, a new unsupervised dimensionality reduction method for neural data tensors, showing it captures more task-relevant structure with fewer components than traditional methods.

A mechanistically interpretable model of the retinal neural code for natural scenes with multiscale adaptive dynamics

The paper presents a mechanistically interpretable model of retinal ganglion cell responses to natural scenes, incorporating slow adaptive dynamics and capturing retinal computations.

Interplay between persistent activity and activity-silent dynamics in prefrontal cortex during working memory

This study shows that working memory in the prefrontal cortex involves both persistent activity and activity-silent dynamics, with reactivation of latent traces enhancing serial biases in spatial memory.

Disrupted serial dependence suggests deficits in synaptic potentiation in anti-NMDAR encephalitis and schizophrenia

The paper shows reduced serial dependence in working memory for anti-NMDAR encephalitis and schizophrenia, suggesting deficits in synaptic potentiation mechanisms.
