It is believed that locus coeruleus (LC) influences the sensory information processing.
However, its role in cortical surround inhibitory mechanism is not well established. In this …

This computational study integrates anatomical and physiological data to assess the
functional role of the lateral excitatory connections between layer 2/3 (L2/3) pyramidal cells …

Cortical state modulates the background activity of cortical neurons, and their evoked
response to sensory stimulation. Multiple mechanisms are involved in switching between …

The role of cortical activity in experience-dependent cortical plasticity was studied in the rat
barrel cortex. Plasticity was induced by depriving every other whisker in a chessboard …

The primary goal of this study was to examine whether the locus coeruleus (LC) provides
collateral projections to whisker‐related, sensorimotor brain regions. After injections of …

Response properties of single units in the mouse barrel cortex were studied to determine the
sequence in which the neurons that form a cortical column become activated by a single …

Varying the degree of single-whisker stimulation differentially affects phases of intrinsic
signals in rat barrel cortex.. Neurophysiol. 81: 692–701, 1999. Using intrinsic signal optical …

In the present study we used computer-controlled mechanical displacement of paired
whiskers in normal and C-fiber-depleted rats to quantitatively examine the role of C-fibers in …

The effect of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) electrical stimulation on response properties of
layers IV and V barrel cortical neurons was studied. To assess the receptive field …

Numerous lines of evidence indicate that neural information is exchanged between the
cerebral hemispheres via the corpus callosum. Unilateral ablation lesions of barrel field …
