The Impact of Cortical State On Neural Coding and Behavior
… of the brain. Yet, whether fluctuations in the state of cortical networks influence sensory coding in neural circuits and the behavior of the animal are unknown. To shed light on this issue, we conducted multi-unit electrophysiology experiments in visual areas V1 and V4 of behaving monkeys. …

Impact of Brain State On Visual and Prefrontal Population Coding In Behaving Animals
… constantly shift between different processing states. Earlier studies have established that the ongoing, spontaneous activity has major repercussions regarding how the brain processes incoming sensory stimuli. However, the interaction between behavioral activity and brain states throughout the …

Cholinergic Control of Cortical Circuit Activity
… role in the moment-to-moment control of ongoing cortical state transitions that occur during periods of wakefulness. Yet, the underlying circuit mechanisms of synaptic cholinergic function in the neocortex remain unclear. Moreover, acetylcholine continues to be widely viewed as a slow and diffuse …

Optimal anticipatory control as a theory of motor preparation
… process that progressively steers the state of the motor cortex into a movement-specific optimal subspace prior to movement onset. The state of the cortex then evolves from these optimal subspaces, producing patterns of neural activity that serve as control inputs to the musculature. …
