The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

GABAergic neurons play a crucial role in shaping cortical activity. Even though GABAergic
neurons constitute a small fraction of cortical neurons, their peculiar morphology and …

Anatomical studies have shown that the majority of callosal axons are glutamatergic.
However, a small proportion of callosal axons are also immunoreactive for glutamic acid …

Discriminating between auditory signals of different affective value is critical for the survival
and success of social interaction of an individual. Anatomical, electrophysiological, imaging …

Previous studies have shown that parvalbumin-expressing neurons (CC-Parv neurons)
connect the two hemispheres of motor and sensory areas via the corpus callosum, and are a …

Inhibitory interneurons are critical for maintaining the excitatory/inhibitory balance. During
the development cortical interneurons originate from the ganglionic eminence and arrive at …

While the hippocampus has been implicated in supporting the association among time-
separated events, the underlying cellular mechanisms have not been fully clarified. Here, we …

The mouse primary visual cortex (V1) has become an important brain area for exploring how
neural circuits process information. Optogenetic tools have helped to outline the connectivity …

In this paper we studied a resonate and fire relaxation oscillator subject to time dependent
modulation to investigate phase-locking phenomena occurring in neurophysiological …

Neocortical GABAergic interneurons encompass a vast number of cell types: some innervate
the perisomatic region of cortical pyramidal neurons (PNs), whereas others target PN …
