A remarkable feature of the brain is that similar information is invariably represented in several parallel brain areas. It is therefore often unclear whether and how these different areas contribute ...

For this work specifically, Schapiro and colleagues built a neural network model composed of a hippocampus, the brain's center for new memories, tasked with learning the world's day-to-day, episodic ...

Neocortical parvalbumin-expressing (PV) neurons critically regulate circuit excitation by strong synaptic inputs onto local pyramidal (Pyr) neurons. Plasticity in PV-mediated inhibition during ...

The neocortex is the largest and most complex part of the brain and has long been considered the ultimate storage site for long-term memories. But how are traces of past events and experiences laid ...

The neocortex constructs an internal representation of the world, but the underlying circuitry and computational principles remain unclear. Inspired by self-supervised learning algorithms, we propose ...

If you were going to build an electronic brain in 2022, it might look something like the Neocortex supercomputer at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center at Carnegie Mellon University. That machine, ...
