We studied the involvement of deep cortical layer neurons in processing callosal information
in the rat. We observed with electron microscopy that both parvalbumin (PV)-labeled profiles …

The callosal projections of the cerebral cortex play an important role in the functional
integration of the two hemispheres, and the anatomy of these connections has been …

Processing of sensory information from both sides of the body requires coordination of
sensory input between the two hemispheres. This coordination is achieved by transcallosal …

The axons forming the corpus callosum sustain the interhemispheric communication across
homotopic cortical areas. We have studied how neurons throughout the columnar extension …

In the mammalian neocortex, the corpus callosum serves as the major source of
interhemispheric communication, composed of axons from callosal neurons located in …

The present study was undertaken to characterize the pre‐and postsynaptic constituents of
the basal forebrain (BF) projection to the prefrontal cortex in the rat, and determine whether it …

Pyramidal neurons in layer 2/3 (L2/3) of the rat somatosensory cortex excite somatostatin-
positive inhibitory bitufted interneurons located in the same cortical layer via glutamatergic …

Recent advances have established that intralaminar and interlaminar excitatory networks
between neocortical pyramidal cells are specialized into subnetworks. Here, we have …

Cortical afferents to the basal ganglia, and in particular the corticostriatal projections, are
critical in the expression of basal ganglia function in health and disease. The corticostriatal …

Excitation and inhibition are highly specific in the cortex, with distinct synaptic connections
made onto subtypes of projection neurons. The functional consequences of this selective …
