Multiple longitudinal tracts in the cephalopod arm sensorimotor system Open
Octopuses have an incredibly rich behavioral repertoire, exhibiting complex motor acts that require the coordination of eight highly flexible arms, each with hundreds of suckers. These movements are controlled by an axial nerve cord (ANC),…

Molecular and morphological circuitry of the octopus sucker ganglion Open
The octopus sucker is a profoundly complex sensorimotor structure. Each of the hundreds of suckers that line the octopus arm can move independently or in concert with one another. These suckers also contain an intricate sensory epithelium,…

Neuronal segmentation in cephalopod arms Open
The prehensile arms of the cephalopod are among these animals' most remarkable features, but little is known about the neural circuitry governing arm and sucker movements1,2. Here, we investigated the cellular and molecular orga…

Neuronal segmentation in cephalopod arms Open
The prehensile arms of the cephalopod are among these animals most remarkable features, but the neural circuitry governing arm and sucker movements remains largely unknown. We studied the neuronal organization of the adult axial nerve cord…

Towards a state-space geometry of neural responses to natural scenes: A steady-state approach Open
Our understanding of information processing by the mammalian visual system has come through a variety of techniques ranging from psychophysics and fMRI to single unit recording and EEG. Each technique provides unique insights into the proc…

Mapping the neuroelectric state-space geometry of natural scenes Open
The evoked potentials of the human visual system are known to carry information regarding the images that produce them. However, the relationship between image statistics and macro-scale neuronal responses remains unclear. Here, we approac…

Background check: Perceptual grouping cues reduce novice holistic processing of birds Open
Perceptual grouping has been implicated as a mechanism for the holistic perception of faces. Using the composite task, Curby et al. (2013) found that holistic processing of faces, but not objects, is reduced when the backgrounds are misali…
