Journal Article Trends in cognitive sciences · July 2024 Our ability to perceive multiple objects is mysterious. Sensory neurons are broadly tuned, producing potential overlap in the populations of neurons activated by each object in a scene. This overlap raises questions about how distinct information is retain ... Full text Cite

Multiple objects evoke fluctuating responses in several regions of the visual pathway.

Journal Article eLife · March 2024 How neural representations preserve information about multiple stimuli is mysterious. Because tuning of individual neurons is coarse (e.g., visual receptive field diameters can exceed perceptual resolution), the populations of neurons potentially responsiv ... Full text Cite

Science Policy Through a Local Lens: The Role of State-Level Advisory Groups in the 21st Century

Journal Article Journal of Science Policy & Governance · March 28, 2022 As new challenges arise in the 21st century, state and local governments play an increasingly critical role in science policy, contrasting the traditional focus on the federal government in this landscape. To meet these challenges, states require access to ... Full text Link to item Cite

Visual Signals in the Mammalian Auditory System.

Journal Article Annual review of vision science · September 2021 Coordination between different sensory systems is a necessary element of sensory processing. Where and how signals from different sense organs converge onto common neural circuitry have become topics of increasing interest in recent years. In this article, ... Full text Cite

Developing Science and Technology Policy Fellowships in State Governments without Full-Time Legislatures

Journal Article Journal of Science Policy & Governance · April 13, 2020 Science and technology policy fellowships train scientists and engineers to use their expertise to advise government officials in technical matters to inform policymaking. There are many such fellowships at the federal level. State-level fellowships are be ... Link to item Cite

Binocular deprivation induces both age-dependent and age-independent forms of plasticity in parvalbumin inhibitory neuron visual response properties.

Journal Article Journal of neurophysiology · February 2018 Featured Publication Activity of cortical inhibitory interneurons is rapidly reduced in response to monocular deprivation during the critical period for ocular dominance plasticity and in response to salient events encountered during learning. In the case of primary sensory co ... Full text Cite
