Neural coding refers to the processes by which external stimuli are translated into neural activity and represented in a manner that drives behavior. Research in this field aims to elucidate these processes by identifying the neural activity and mechanisms responsible for stimulus recognition and behavioral execution. This article provides a concise review of foundational studies and key concepts in neural coding, along with statistical formulations and recent advances in population coding research enabled by large-scale recordings.
神经编码是指外部刺激转化为神经活动并以驱动行为的方式进行表征的过程。该领域的研究旨在通过识别负责刺激识别和行为执行的神经活动及机制来阐明这些过程。本文简要回顾了神经编码的基础研究和关键概念,以及统计公式和大规模记录推动的群体编码研究的最新进展。
