Preserved representations and decodability of diverse cognitive functions across the cortex, cerebellum, and subcortexIt feels strange to me at this point that cortically biased processing is still so predominant in neuroscientific thinking. There’s something I’m not understanding in the avoidance of this I need to figure out.Comparing Brain Asymmetries Independently of Brain SizeLike this interesting …

Timescales of Local and Cross-Area Interactions during Neuroprosthetic Learning Dorsal/Ventral, blah blah? The ventral stream travels a “slower” route, resulting in the time delay. Dissect Relationships Between Gene Co-expression and Functional Connectivity in Human Brain There are many different phenotypes of naturally occurring brain construction. The psychiatric concept of “normal or disordered” pathologizes many of …

Trial-by-trial fluctuations in amygdala activity track motivational enhancement of desirable sensory evidence during perceptual decision-making The amygdala complex is a valence processing center, it tries to match the salience signal with an appropriate level of response based on external stimuli. This study supports this model by demonstrating level of engagement being activation dependent. Brain-wide neural …

This means all cortical, limbic, basal, etc circuits must have an equivalent partner in the brainstem and cerebellum. My prior assumption was that was that place and direction equivalents were functions of the cerebellar DCN’s. This study …
