The neural basis of timing: distributed mechanisms for diverse functions
JJ Paton, DV Buonomano - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Timing is critical to most forms of learning, behavior, and sensory-motor processing.

Mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations
Learning to predict rewards based on environmental cues is essential for survival. It is
believed that animals learn to predict rewards by updating predictions whenever the …

Optogenetic dissection of the basal forebrain neuromodulatory control of cortical activation, plasticity, and cognition
The basal forebrain (BF) houses major ascending projections to the entire neocortex that
have long been implicated in arousal, learning, and attention. The disruption of the BF has …

Distinct eligibility traces for LTP and LTD in cortical synapses
In reward-based learning, synaptic modifications depend on a brief stimulus and a
temporally delayed reward, which poses the question of how synaptic activity patterns …

A cholinergic mechanism for reward timing within primary visual cortex
Neurons in rodent primary visual cortex (V1) relate operantly conditioned stimulus-reward
intervals with modulated patterns of spiking output, but little is known about the locus or …

Aesthetic appreciation: The view from neuroimaging
M Skov - Empirical Studies of the Arts, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
Our understanding of aesthetic appreciation has undergone a profound change during the
past 20 years, as a result of the ability to study the human brain through neuroimaging. A …

How universal is preference for visual curvature? A systematic review and meta‐analysis
EG Chuquichambi, O Vartanian, M Skov… - Annals of the New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Evidence dating back a century shows that humans are sensitive to and exhibit a preference
for visual curvature. This effect has been observed in different age groups, human cultures …

Predictive processing models and affective neuroscience
The neural bases of affective experience remain elusive. Early neuroscience models of
affect searched for specific brain regions that uniquely carried out the computations that …

New perspectives on the auditory cortex: learning and memory
NM Weinberger - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2015 - Elsevier
Abstract Primary (“early”) sensory cortices have been viewed as stimulus analyzers devoid
of function in learning, memory, and cognition. However, studies combining sensory …

In vivo two-photon Ca2+ imaging reveals selective reward effects on stimulus-specific assemblies in mouse visual cortex
Experiences can alter functional properties of neurons in primary sensory neocortex but it is
poorly understood how stimulus–reward associations contribute to these changes. Using in …
