Rapid and precise control of sniffing during olfactory discrimination in ratsAdam Kepecs
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA
J Neurophysiol 98:205-13. 2007..These results demonstrate the speed and precision of control over respiration and its significance for olfactory behavioral performance...
Choice ball: a response interface for two-choice psychometric discrimination in head-fixed miceJoshua I Sanders
Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724
J Neurophysiol 108:3416-23. 2012..The choice ball enables head-fixed 2AFC paradigms, facilitating the circuit-level analysis of sensory processing, decision making, and motor control in mice...- A computational framework for the study of confidence in humans and animalsAdam Kepecs
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 367:1322-37. 2012..Finally, we discuss the relationship of confidence judgements to the wider behavioural uses of confidence and uncertainty... 
Neural correlates, computation and behavioural impact of decision confidenceAdam Kepecs
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, New York 11724, USA
Nature 455:227-31. 2008..We suggest that confidence estimation may be a fundamental and ubiquitous component of decision-making...- Gating information by two-state membrane potential fluctuationsA Kepecs
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA
J Neurophysiol 97:3015-23. 2007..The dynamic gating of input by up- and down-states may be an elementary operation for the selective routing of signals in neural circuits, which may explain the ubiquity of two-state fluctuations across brain regions... - Basic mechanisms for graded persistent activity: discrete attractors, continuous attractors, and dynamic representationsCarlos D Brody
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA
Curr Opin Neurobiol 13:204-11. 2003.... - The sniff as a unit of olfactory processingAdam Kepecs
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA
Chem Senses 31:167-79. 2006..Further electrophysiological recordings in behaving animals will be necessary to assess these proposals... - Seeing at a glance, smelling in a whiff: rapid forms of perceptual decision makingNaoshige Uchida
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, New York 11724, USA
Nat Rev Neurosci 7:485-91. 2006..We suggest that the brain limits some types of perceptual processing to short, discrete chunks (for example, eye fixations and sniffs) in order to facilitate the construction of global sensory images... - Spike-timing-dependent plasticity: common themes and divergent vistasAdam Kepecs

Biol Cybern 87:446-58. 2002..In light of these computational issues raised, we review current experimental findings and suggest further experiments to resolve some controversies... - Information encoding and computation with spikes and burstsAdam Kepecs
Volen Center for Complex Systems, Brandeis University, 415 South Street, Waltham, MA 02454, USA
Network 14:103-18. 2003..These findings lead us to propose that the biophysical mechanisms of spike generation enables individual neurons to encode different stimulus features into distinct spike patterns... - Model for a robust neural integratorAlexei A Koulakov
Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
Nat Neurosci 5:775-82. 2002..Neither circuit requires fine tuning to perform robust integration, and the latter actually exploits the variability of neuronal conductances... - Bursting neurons signal input slopeAdam Kepecs
Volen Center for Complex Systems, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts 02454-9110, USA
J Neurosci 22:9053-62. 2002..This possibility could be further examined experimentally by looking for correlations between burst duration and stimulus variables...
