One of the best ways to improve new learning and increase memory strength is by
reprocessing the recently acquired information, for example, by thinking of it again. Synaptic …

Neocortical layer 1 is a locus for interactions between long-range inputs, L1 interneurons
and apical tuft dendrites of pyramidal neurons. While input to this layer has a decades long …

Feedforward and feedback pathways are important for transfer and integration of information
between sensory cortical areas. Here we find that two closely connected cortical areas, the …

Microglia sense the changes in their environment. How microglia actively translate these
changes into suitable cues to adapt brain physiology is unknown. We reveal an activity …

Rapid advancements in experimental neuroscience are now generating a wealth of high-
resolution neural and behavioral datasets. This opens new avenues for understanding brain …

The sensory world is dynamic and constantly changing. The ability to react appropriately to
these changes relies on the continuous and timely cortical processing of immediate sensory …

Perceptual learning refers to any change in perceptual ability as a result of experience and
practice. In the visual system, visual perceptual learning (vPL) occurs in response to a wide …

Context-sensitive two-point layer 5 pyramidal cells (L5PC) were discovered as long ago as
1999. However, the potential of this discovery to provide useful neural computation has yet …

Though formation and long-term maintenance of memories may seem to go hand in hand,
these two processes require opposing properties of synaptic plasticity and stability that must …

Neurons receive information through their synaptic inputs, but the functional significance of
how those inputs are mapped on to a cell's dendrites remains unclear. We studied this …
