Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents,
including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate …

Autism covers a wide spectrum of disorders for which there are many views, hypotheses and
theories. Here we propose a unifying theory of autism, the Intense World Theory. The …

The mouse is an increasingly prominent model for the analysis of mammalian neuronal
circuits. Neural circuits ultimately have to be probed during behaviors that engage the …

In the rodent vibrissal system, active sensation and sensorimotor integration are mediated in
part by connections between barrel cortex and vibrissal motor cortex. Little is known about …

The cerebral vascular system services the constant demand for energy during neuronal
activity in the brain. Attempts to delineate the logic of neurovascular coupling have been …

The tactile somatosensory pathway from whisker to cortex in rodents provides a well-defined
system for exploring the link between molecular mechanisms, synaptic circuits, and …

In the visual system of primates, different neuronal pathways are specialized for processing
information about the spatial coordinates of objects and their identity—that …

Cortical-feedback projections to primary sensory areas terminate most heavily in layer 1 (L1)
of the neocortex,, where they make synapses with tuft dendrites of pyramidal neurons. L1 …

A brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) enabled a real-time transfer of behaviorally meaningful
sensorimotor information between the brains of two rats. In this BTBI, an “encoder” rat …

Linking activity in specific cell types with perception, cognition, and action, requires
quantitative behavioral experiments in genetic model systems such as the mouse. In head …
