Plaguing humans for more than two millennia, manifest on every continent studied, and with
more than one billion patients having an attack in any year, migraine stands as the sixth …

Several challenges to current views of thalamocortical processing are offered here.
Glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex are divided into two distinct classes: driver …

Migraine is a common and complex brain disorder. Although it is clear that head pain is a
key manifestation of the disorder for most patients, what drives the activation of neuronal …

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-
specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these …

Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals,
is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns …

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

The previous editions of The Rat Nervous System were indispensable guides for those
working on the rat and mouse as experimental models. The fourth edition enhances this …

Neocortical areas are believed to be organized into vertical modules, the cortical columns,
and the horizontal layers 1–6. In the somatosensory barrel cortex these columns are defined …

The rodent whisker system is widely used as a model system for investigating sensorimotor
integration, neural mechanisms of complex cognitive tasks, neural development, and …

This is the first article in a series of 3 studies that investigate the anatomical determinants of
thalamocortical (TC) input to excitatory neurons in a cortical column of rat primary …
