How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories aiming answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in consciousness research, and some are now hotly debated. Although most researchers so far focused on development validation their preferred theory relative isolation, article, written by a group scientists representing different theories, takes an alternative approach. Noting that various often try explain aspects or mechanistic levels consciousness, we argue do not necessarily contradict each other. Instead, several them may converge fundamental neuronal mechanisms be partly compatible complementary, multiple can simultaneously contribute our understanding. Here, consider unifying, integration-oriented approaches been largely neglected, seeking combine valuable elements theories.

The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory, but it also involved in online prediction. Evidence suggests that a unitary hippocampal code underlies both memory and predictive processing, yet within coding framework the hippocampal-neocortical interactions accompany these two phenomena are distinct opposing. Namely, during recall, thought to exert an excitatory influence on neocortex, reinstate activity patterns across cortical circuits. This contrasts with empirical theoretical work where descending predictions suppress prediction errors 'explain away' ascending inputs via inhibition. In this hypothesis piece, we attempt dissolve previously overlooked dialectic. We consider how may facilitate respectively, by inhibiting neocortical or increasing their gain. propose processing modes depend upon neuromodulatory gain (or precision) ascribed error units.

Abstract Recent studies in mice reveal widespread cortical signals during task performance; however, the various task-related and task-independent processes underlying this activity are incompletely understood. Here, we recorded wide-field neural activity, as revealed by GCaMP6s, from dorsal cortex while simultaneously monitoring orofacial movements, walking, arousal (pupil diameter) of head-fixed performing a Go/NoGo visual detection examined ability performance spontaneous or movements to predict activity. A linear model was able explain significant fraction (33–55% variance) widefield with largest factors being (facial, walk, eye), response choice (hit, miss, false alarm), indicate that trial-to-trial variability arises both changes state (e.g., arousal). Importantly, secondary motor highly correlated lick rate, critical for optimal (high d′), first region significantly on target trials. These findings suggest is critically involved decision learned variation results variations behavioral/arousal state.

Processing in cortical circuits is driven by combinations of and subcortical inputs. These inputs are often conceptually categorized as bottom-up, conveying sensory information, top-down, contextual information. Using intracellular recordings mouse primary visual cortex, we measured neuronal responses to input, locomotion, visuomotor mismatches. We show that layer 2/3 (L2/3) neurons compute a difference between top-down motor-related input bottom-up flow input. Most L2/3 responded mismatch with either hyperpolarization or depolarization, the size this response was correlated distinct physiological properties. Consistent subtraction had opposing influence on neurons. In infragranular neurons, found no evidence computation were consistent positive integration Our results provide functions bidirectional comparator

While classical views of cerebellar learning have suggested that this structure predominantly operates according to an error-based supervised rule refine movements, emerging evidence suggests the cerebellum may also harness a wider range rules contribute variety behaviors, including cognitive processes. Together, such points broad role for circuits in generating and testing predictions about movement, reward, other non-motor operations. However, expanded view processing raises many new questions how apparent diversity function arises from with striking homogeneity. Hence, review will highlight both current predictive circuit extends beyond error-driven learning, as well open must be addressed unify our understanding function.

Brain function relies on the coordination of activity across multiple, recurrently connected brain areas. For instance, sensory information encoded in early areas is relayed to, and further processed by, higher cortical then fed back. However, way which feedforward feedback signaling interact with one another incompletely understood. Here we investigate this question by leveraging simultaneous neuronal population recordings midlevel visual (V1-V2 V1-V4). Using a dimensionality reduction approach, find that interactions are feedforward-dominated shortly after stimulus onset feedback-dominated during spontaneous activity. The patterns most correlated were distinct feedforward- periods. These results suggest rely separate "channels", allows signals to not directly affect forward.
