Stimulus-selective response plasticity (SRP) is a robust and lasting modification of primary
visual cortex (V1) that occurs in response to exposure to novel visual stimuli. It is readily …

Despite the obvious differences in the pathophysiology of distinct neuropsychiatric diseases
or neurodegenerative disorders, some of them share some general but pivotal mechanisms …

Relief, the appetitive state after the termination of aversive stimuli, is evolutionarily
conserved. Understanding the behavioral role of this well-conserved phenomenon and its …

Sequential encoding of motor programs is essential for behavior generation. However,
whether it is critical for instinctive behavior is still largely unknown. Mouse hunting behavior …

Reduced cortical inhibition by somatostatin-expressing (SST) interneurons has been
strongly associated with treatment-resistant depression. However, due to technical …

Background Amplitude reduction of mismatch negativity (MMN), an event-related potential
component indexing NMDA receptor–dependent auditory echoic memory and predictive …

Chronic pain often develops severe mood changes such as depression. However, how
chronic pain leads to depression remains elusive and the mechanisms determining …

In this theoretical review we bridge the cognitive and neurobiological sciences to shed light
on the neurocognitive foundations of the semantic priming effect in schizophrenia. We …

Chronic pain damages the balance between excitation and inhibition in the sensory cortex. It
has been confirmed that the activity of cortical glutamatergic pyramidal cells increases after …

Even during sustained attention, enhanced processing of attended stimuli waxes and wanes
rhythmically, with periods of enhanced and relatively diminished visual processing (and …
