The paper introduces Cleo, a simulation testbed for systems neuroscience experiments, integrating optogenetics, electrophysiology, and closed-loop control to improve experimental design and model validation.

The paper analyzes frontal motor cortex activity during motor planning and finds that neural activity unfolds over multiple timescales, supporting a shared mechanism for temporal information processing.

The paper shows that both hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in monkeys maintain a temporal record of events during an associative memory task.

The paper shows that neurons in the monkey entorhinal cortex encode time since image onset with varying time constants and also represent image content, supporting episodic memory.
