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 …

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 …

Interhemispheric inhibition is thought to mediate cortical rivalry between the two
hemispheres through callosal input. The long-lasting form of this inhibition is believed to …

Long-range horizontal connections are thought to modulate the responsiveness of neurons
by supplying contextual information. A special type of long-range connections are …

Abstract 'Inter‐hemispheric inhibition'is used frequently to describe the action of one
hemisphere in suppressing or impeding processing in its counterpart. It is widely believed …

In the vibrissal area of rodent somatosensory cortex, information on whisker stimulation is
processed by neuronal networks in a corresponding cortical column. To understand how …

Rats tactually explore a nearly spherical space field around their heads with their whiskers.
The information sampled by the two sets of whiskers is integrated bilaterally at the cortical …

The mechanisms that link sensory inputs in spatially separated regions of cortex can be
elucidated by analyzing the mechanisms that generate receptive field properties in cortical …

Ascending and descending information is relayed through the thalamus via strong,“driver”
pathways. According to our current knowledge, different driver pathways are organized in …

Sensory processing in the cortex should integrate inputs arriving from receptive fields
located on both sides of the body. This role could be played by the corpus callosum through …
