The paper shows that self-generated ephaptic fields decorrelate neural populations and improve coding, unlike externally imposed fields that synchronize and reduce performance.

This study maps the dorsal visual stream in adults and children, finding protracted development and hemispheric asymmetry in receptive field coverage and spatial attention.

KIASORT improves spike sorting by tracking neuron-specific drift without relying on probe geometry, outperforming Kilosort4 in benchmarks.

This study identifies high-frequency activity bursts as markers of fast, long-range brain communication during spatial attention tasks, showing their role in behavioral accuracy and network synchronization.

This study shows that pulvinar bursts modulate attention and improve behavioral performance in macaques.

The paper investigates differential neural mechanisms underlying cortical gating of visual spatial attention using intracranial EEG data from epilepsy patients, revealing distinct alpha-band oscillation patterns for target enhancement and distractor suppression.

This study creates normative brain growth charts for rhesus macaques across their lifespan using MRI data, revealing developmental milestones and cross-species comparisons with humans.

The paper develops a computational model of the fronto-parietal network to show how interacting rhythms enhance visual target detection sensitivity during sustained attention.

The paper reports reversible edema in macaques after electric drilling for craniotomy, observed via MRI, and advises caution in electrophysiological recordings for 2-3 weeks post-surgery.

This study shows that pulvinar inactivates reduce phase coherence between V4 and LIP in low frequencies, indicating a causal role in cortico-cortical synchronization during passive viewing.

The paper shows that spike timing synchronization, not spike rate, predicts behavioral outcomes before target selection in macaques.

The paper examines functional connectivity changes in children after unilateral cortical resection, finding increased negative correlations in the contralesional hemisphere.

The paper investigates how visual cortex maintains perceptual memory after hippocampal loss, finding that visual areas can track repeated stimuli for minutes without hippocampal input, but require it for longer delays when attention is directed toward stimuli.

The paper examines pulvino-cortical interactions during theta-rhythmic sampling in macaques, finding rhythmic reweighting defines functional dissociations in the attention network.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human pulvinar is functionally divided into dorsal and ventral subdivisions, each connected to distinct cortical regions, mirroring visual stream organization.

The paper shows the pulvinar regulates information transmission between parietal and ventral visual cortex during selective attention, sustaining parietal delay activity.

The paper introduces PRIME-DE, an open resource for non-human primate MRI data, aggregating 13 datasets from 11 sites across 98 macaques.
