Impulse activity of individual neurons in the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) was recorded from
chair-restrained, unanesthetized cynomolgus monkeys. LC activity was closely related to the …

Neurons of the motor thalamus mediate basal ganglia and cerebellar influences on cortical
activity. To elucidate the net result of γ-aminobutyric acid-releasing or glutamatergic …

Neocortical microcircuits of primary sensory cortices play prominent roles in processing
peripheral input. The same cortical microcircuits are also spontaneously active, which …

Sensory processing and its perception require that local information would also be available
globally. Indeed, in the mammalian neocortex, local excitation spreads over large distances …

In rodent somatosensory (barrel) cortex input is processed by whisker-related columns
before the integrated output is fed into behaviorally-relevant circuits. The layer-specific …

Background Nerve cells program the brain codes to manage well-organized cognitions and
behaviors. It remains unclear how a population of neurons and astrocytes work coordinately …

Single and multiple unit recordings were obtained from locus coeruleus (LC) of
unanesthetized, chair-restrained monkeys during presentation of a range of sensory stimuli …

In layer IV of rat somatosensory cortex, barrel circuitry is highly sensitive to thalamic
population firing rates during the first few milliseconds of the whisker-evoked response. This …

Sensory information coming from climbing fiber and mossy fiber-granule cell pathways,
generates motor-related outputs according to internal rules of integration and computation in …

The rate at which neurons fire has wide-reaching implications for the coding schemes used
by neural systems. Despite the extensive use of the barrel cortex as a model system …
