The brain is a marvel of efficiency, honed by thousands of years of evolution so it can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Yet, despite decades of research, the mystery of how the brain achieves this has remained elusive. Our new research, published in the journal Cell, reveals how neurons – the cells responsible for your childhood memories, thoughts and emotions – coordinate their activity. It’s a bit like being a worker in a high-performing business.

AbstractBrain recordings collected at different resolutions support statistically distinct signatures of information processing, leading to scale-dependent theories of brain function. Here, we demonstrate that these disparate neural-coding signatures emerge from the same multiscale functional organisation of neuronal activity across calcium-imaging recordings collected from the whole brains of zebrafish and nematode, as well as sensory regions of the fly, mouse, and macaque brain.
