With stimulus and percept fixed, macaque inferotemporal face-patch populations alternate about 15 times per second between states purely representing the conscious or suppressed face; prefrontal cortex shows qualitatively similar interleaving.

The paper shows that human ventral temporal cortex neurons use a distributed axis code for object perception and that imagery reactivates this code in single neurons.

The paper shows that face cells in macaque IT cortex switch from a general code to a face-specific code within 20 ms to enable fine face discrimination.

The paper introduces Neuropixels 1.0-NHP, a high-density electrode array for large-scale neural recording in nonhuman primates, enabling recording from over 3000 single neurons.

The paper visualizes dense distributions of immunolabeled proteins in adult macaque visual cortex using expansion microscopy and light sheet imaging, enabling multimodal atlas creation.

This study develops a mouse model to study focused ultrasound neuromodulation, showing reduced off-target effects and revealing non-auditory side effects at higher pressures.

This study compares visual segmentation strategies between mice and primates, finding that mice rely on texture memorization while primates use opponent motion cues for figure-ground segmentation.

This paper shows that rapid multitask learning in reservoir-style networks can occur with sparse, localized plasticity and local error signals, without backpropagation.

The paper compares computational models for explaining neural responses to face images in the primate brain, finding the active appearance model and CORnet-Z perform best.

This study investigates how familiar faces are encoded in the brain, finding that they are represented in a distinct long-latency code in IT and perirhinal cortex that enhances discrimination.

The paper investigates neural correlates of consciousness in macaques using a no-report paradigm and finds that face patches encode conscious percept without requiring active report.

This study shows ultrasound causes cortical activation through an indirect auditory mechanism, not direct neuromodulation at the ultrasound focus.

The paper investigates how neurons in macaque IT cortex respond to multiple objects and finds that normalization with homogeneous category selectivity explains their responses.

The paper investigates how macaque color patches represent colored objects, finding distinct computational strategies across three patches for hue and shape information.

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