Smooth Neural Coding for Dynamic Stimuli in Hierarchical Networks

Imagine you’re trying to take a picture of a moving object. The object is constantly changing, so you want your camera to capture the details without getting blurry. Well, it turns out that our brains face a similar challenge when processing dynamic visual stimuli. To optimize efficiency, neural representations try to minimize redundant information, but […]

HSF: A New Way to Understand the Lifespan Dynamics of Hippocampal Subfields

Imagine the hippocampal subfields as different neighborhoods in your brain. These neighborhoods play a crucial role in forming and recalling memories. But studying them is like trying to find hidden treasures in a crowded city. The small size of these subfields and the lack of a standardized method for studying them make it challenging to […]
