Opposite adaptive processing of stimulus intensity in two major nuclei of the somatosensory brainstem

B Mohar, Y Katz, I Lampl - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Tactile information ascends from the brainstem to the somatosensory cortex via two major
parallel pathways, lemniscal and paralemniscal. In both pathways, and throughout all …

Somatosensory integration controlled by dynamic thalamocortical feed-forward inhibition

L Gabernet, SP Jadhav, DE Feldman, M Carandini… - Neuron, 2005 - cell.com
The temporal features of tactile stimuli are faithfully represented by the activity of neurons in
the somatosensory cortex. However, the cellular mechanisms that enable cortical neurons to …

Orienting attention to an upcoming tactile event involves a spatially and temporally specific modulation of sensorimotor alpha-and beta-band oscillations

F Van Ede, F De Lange, O Jensen… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Our perception is facilitated if we know where and when a sensory stimulus will occur. This
phenomenon is accounted for by spatial and temporal orienting of attention. Whereas spatial …
