This article gives a brief overview of cortical connectivity, as this has been investigated by anatomic tracer studies over the past 25 years. Open questions are discussed, from the perspective that connectivity studies are in a transition period when both techniques and conceptual frameworks are rapidly changing.

A new study mapping the functional effects of brain lesions has revealed a surprising map of human intelligence, stimulating a re-evaluation of data from purely correlative methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Graduate doctors' knowledge of central and peripheral nervous system anatomy is below an acceptable level. New technologies have been introduced to enhance education in the context integrated curricula reduced teaching hours medical schools. However, it unknown how varied this instruction has become between universities. This mixed methods study aimed describe neuroanatomy medicine across Austr...

Active inference offers a principled account of behavior as minimizing average sensory surprise over time. Applications active to control problems have heretofore tended focus on finite-horizon or discounted-surprise problems, despite deriving from the infinite-horizon, average-surprise imperative free-energy principle. Here we derive an formulation optimal principles. Our returns roots in neur...

The mouse neocortex is now the focus of research using twenty-first century techniques of circuit analyses, which are revealing different wiring strategies for excitatory and inhibitory connections and providing important insights into the possible computations of cortical circuits.

Recent research has revealed general principles in the structural and functional organization of complex networks which are shared by various natural, social and technological systems. This review examines these principles as applied to the organization, development and function of complex brain networks. Specifically, we examine the structural properties of large-scale anatomical and functiona...
