TL;DR: The terms “willed action” and “free will” are used to refer to the operation of the planning system that can think ahead over several steps held in working memory with which it can take explicit decisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, neurophysiological evidence for the learning of invariant representations in the inferior temporal visual cortex is described, including object and face representations with invariance for position, size, lighting, view and morphological transforms in the temporal lobe visual cortex; global object motion in the cortex in the superior temporal sulcus; and spatial view representations in hippocampus that are invariant with respect to eye position, head direction, and place.

TL;DR: The papers in this Special Issue consider the roles of pattern separation and pattern completion in many neural systems, including the hippocampal system, and evidence that the separate subsets of place-related neuronal activity in the rat hippocampus at any one time may reflect ongoing cognitive demands.

TL;DR: A computational neuroscience approach to the role of attention in visual object perception shows how attentional effects important in visual search may be implemented in the brain, shows that some serial attentional results can be accounted for by different difficulties of constraint satisfaction in a purely parallel dynamical system, and makes predictions at the single-neuron, fMRI, and brain-lesion levels of investigation.

TL;DR: The effective connectivity between 55 visual cortical regions and 360 cortical regions was measured in 171 HCP participants using the HCP-MMP atlas, and complemented with functional connectivity and diffusion tractography.
