The claustrum, a subcortical structure situated between the insular cortex and striatum, is
reciprocally connected with almost all neocortical regions. Based on this connectivity, the …

Cranial visceral afferents activate central pathways that mediate systemic homeostatic
processes. Afferent information arrives in the brainstem nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) of primates plays an important role in executive control,
but how it interacts with the rest of the cortex remains unclear. To address this, we densely …

The presubiculum provides a major input to the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and contains
cells that encode for the animal9s head direction (HD), as well as other cells likely to be …

The cortex influences movement by widespread top-down projections to many nervous
system regions. Skilled forelimb movements require brainstem circuitry in the medulla; …

Long-range projections from the frontal cortex are known to modulate sensory processing in
multiple modalities. Although the mouse has become an increasingly important animal …

Spatial cognition depends on an accurate representation of orientation within an
environment. Head direction cells in distributed brain regions receive a range of sensory …

The rodent somatosensory cortex includes well-defined examples of cortical columns—the
barrel columns—that extend throughout the cortical depth and are defined by discrete …

We have previously shown that the claustrum is part of an interhemispheric circuit that
interconnects somesthetic–motor and visual–motor cortical regions. The role of the …

Principal cells in layer V of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) have a nodal position in the
cortical–hippocampal network. They are the main recipients of hippocampal output and …
