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.
Converging evidence supports the notion that, precisely because of its importance across a …

Mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations

H Jeong, A Taylor, JR Floeder, M Lohmann, S Mihalas… - Science, 2022 - science.org

Optogenetic dissection of the basal forebrain neuromodulatory control of cortical activation, plasticity, and cognition

SC Lin, RE Brown, MGH Shuler… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The basal forebrain (BF) houses major ascending projections to the entire neocortex that

Distinct eligibility traces for LTP and LTD in cortical synapses

K He, M Huertas, SZ Hong, XX Tie, JW Hell, H Shouval… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
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

AA Chubykin, EB Roach, MF Bear, MGH Shuler - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
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

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

PM Goltstein, EBJ Coffey, PR Roelfsema… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …
