Neuronal circuits in barrel cortex for whisker sensory perception
JF Staiger, CCH Petersen - Physiological reviews, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
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 …

The cortical states of wakefulness
JFA Poulet, S Crochet - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Cortical neurons process information on a background of spontaneous, ongoing activity with
distinct spatiotemporal profiles defining different cortical states. During wakefulness, cortical …

Dynamic lateralization of pupil dilation evoked by locus coeruleus activation results from sympathetic, not parasympathetic, contributions
Pupil size is collectively controlled by the sympathetic dilator and parasympathetic sphincter
muscles. Locus coeruleus (LC) activation has been shown to evoke pupil dilation, but how …

Origins of choice-related activity in mouse somatosensory cortex
During perceptual decisions about faint or ambiguous sensory stimuli, even identical stimuli
can produce different choices. Spike trains from sensory cortex neurons can predict trial-to …

The importance of accounting for movement when relating neuronal activity to sensory and cognitive processes
A surprising finding of recent studies in mouse is the dominance of widespread movement-
related activity throughout the brain, including in early sensory areas. In awake subjects …

Whisker-mediated touch system in rodents: from neuron to behavior
M Adibi - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
A key question in systems neuroscience is to identify how sensory stimuli are represented in
neuronal activity, and how the activity of sensory neurons in turn is “read out” by downstream …

Scalable thousand channel penetrating microneedle arrays on flex for multimodal and large area coverage brainmachine interfaces
The Utah array powers cutting‐edge projects for restoration of neurological function, such as
BrainGate, but the underlying electrode technology has itself advanced little in the last three …

Rapid effects of vagus nerve stimulation on sensory processing through activation of neuromodulatory systems
After sensory information is encoded into neural signals at the periphery, it is processed
through multiple brain regions before perception occurs (ie, sensory processing). Recent …

Competing neural ensembles in motor cortex gate goal-directed motor output
Unit recordings in behaving animals have revealed the transformation of sensory to motor
representations in cortical neurons. However, we still lack basic insights into the …

The adaptive trade-off between detection and discrimination in cortical representations and behavior
DR Ollerenshaw, HJV Zheng, DC Millard, Q Wang… - Neuron, 2014 - cell.com
It has long been posited that detectability of sensory inputs can be sacrificed in favor of
improved discriminability and that sensory adaptation may mediate this trade-off. The extent …
