The brain operates through the synaptic interaction of distant neurons within flexible, often
heterogeneous, distributed systems. Histological studies have detailed the connections …

Interhemispheric communication through the corpus callosum is required for both sensory
and cognitive processes. Impaired transcallosal inhibition causing interhemispheric …

Substantial evidence has shown that ongoing neural activity significantly contributes to how
the brain responds to upcoming stimuli. In visual perception, a considerable portion of trial-to …

Callosal projections are thought to play a critical role in coordinating neural activity between
the cerebral hemispheres in placental mammals, but the rules that govern the arrangement …

Sensory cortical areas receive glutamatergic callosal projections that link information
processing between brain hemispheres. In primary auditory cortex (A1), ipsilateral principal …

A simple reaction time (SRT) difference between responses to visual stimuli presented
ipsilaterally and contralaterally to the responding hand, known as the Poffenberger effect or …

Vision is a very important sensory modality in humans. Visual disorders are numerous and
arising from diverse and complex causes. Deficits in visual function are highly disabling from …

Contrast sensitivity is regulated by neural mechanisms that flexibly adjust responsiveness to
optimize stimulus encoding across different environments. Here we studied the …

One leading hypothesis on the nature of visual callosal connections (CC) is that they
replicate features of intrahemispheric lateral connections. However, CC act also in the …

The activity of a neural network is a result of synaptic signals that convey the communication
between neurons and neuron-based intrinsic currents that determine the neuron's input …
