The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) retains its capability for cortical reorganization after
injury or differential use into adulthood. The plastic response of SI cells to peripheral …

Numerous preclinical studies demonstrate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with
motor rehabilitation improves functional recovery after neural injuries such as stroke …

In contrast to the high degree of experience-dependent plasticity usually exhibited by
cortical representational maps, a number of experiments performed in visual cortex suggest …

In a search phase of echolocation, big brown bats, Eptesicus fuscus, emit biosonar pulses at
a rate of 10/s and listen to echoes. When a short acoustic stimulus was repetitively delivered …

Patterns of responses in the cerebral cortex can vary, and are influenced by pre-existing
cortical function, but it is not known how rapidly these variations can occur in humans. We …

Recent advances in techniques available to memory researchers have led to a rapid
expansion in the field of cognitive neuroscience of memory. This book provides accessible …

Can the adult brain assimilate a novel, topographically organized, sensory modality into its
perceptual repertoire? To test this, we implemented a microstimulation-based …

In the neocortex, extensive training results in enhanced neuronal selectivity for learned
stimuli relative to novel stimuli. This enhanced selectivity has been taken as evidence for …

We propose a reliable method for automatic counting of cells in brain sections labeled with
different antibodies (against NeuN, parvalbumin, GABA and c-Fos) and in Nissl-staining …

We investigated the effects of sensory deprivation on the forepaw representation in the
primary somatosensory cortex (SI) in the adult rat. Cortical maps were constructed from high …
