In this brief review, we will highlight the ferret Mustela putorius furo as an increasingly
utilized animal model for sensory systems and cognitive neuroscience research. In …

The cholinergic system is essential for memory. While degradation of cholinergic pathways
characterizes memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, the …

Hippocampal theta frequency is a somewhat neglected topic relative to theta power, phase,
coherence, and cross-frequency coupling. Accordingly, here we review and present new …

Representing past, present and future locations is key for spatial navigation. Indeed, within
each cycle of the theta oscillation, the population of hippocampal place cells appears to …

The septal complex regulates both motivated and innate behaviors, chiefly by the action of
its diverse population of long-range projection neurons. A small population of somatostatin …

The cholinergic system is essential for memory. While degradation of cholinergic pathways
characterizes memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, the …

Local field potentials (LFPs) reflect the collective dynamics of neural populations, yet their
exact relationship to neural codes remains unknown 1. One notable exception is the theta …

Complete movement arrest has recently been reported to be induced in rodents by
optogenetic stimulation of a subpopulation within the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN). This …

It is known that movement arrest can be induced by optogenetic stimulation of a brainstem
nucleus, the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) 1–6. This evoked arrest appears …

Clinical evidences indicate that multifaceted gait abnormalities may manifest in Alzheimer's
disease (AD) patients, which associated with cognitive decline. Although the correlation …
