Neurons in the auditory cortex can lock with millisecond precision to the fine timingof acoustic stimuli, but it is not known whether this precise spike timing can be usedto guide decisions. We used ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...
