Single-neuron and population contributions of hippocampal LFPs to spike prediction

The paper examines how different frequency components of hippocampal LFPs predict single-neuron spiking during spatial navigation in rats, identifying distinct low- and high-frequency regimes.

Parallax error indicates simple cue-anchoring in the head-direction system

The paper shows that the rodent head-direction system uses a simple averaging heuristic to reduce parallax error in cue-anchored navigation.

News without the buzz: reading out weak theta rhythms in the hippocampus

The paper shows that weak theta rhythms in the hippocampus can encode position and head orientation without relying on prominent theta rhythms, using an artificial neural network.

Local interneurons in the murine visual thalamus have diverse receptive fields and can provide feature selective inhibition to relay cells.

Consciousness is supported by near-critical cortical electrodynamics

The paper identifies the edge-of-chaos critical point as the state of cortical dynamics during conscious states and shows it is disrupted during unconsciousness.

NWB:N 2.0: An Accessible Data Standard for Neurophysiology

Version 2.0 of the Neurodata Without Borders neurophysiology format centres on the schema, with an accompanying software stack and community aimed at making recordings easier to reuse.
