Barrel cortex function

TL;DR: This paper proposes a network model composed of columns and layers that performs robust object learning and recognition and proposes that a representation of location relative to the object being sensed is calculated within the sub-granular layers of each column.

TL;DR: It is suggested that maturation of electrophysiological features, particularly acquisition of a sustained firing pattern, and a transition from the immature electrical to mature chemical synaptic coupling between excitatory L4 neurons, contributes to the developmental switch in the cortical mode of function.

TL;DR: These findings identify pyramidal neurons in M1 with the expected prototypical circuit properties of excitatory L4 neurons, and question the traditional assumption that motor cortex lacks this layer.

TL;DR: It is reported how the GAERS, thanks to its spontaneous, highly recurrent and easily recognizable seizures on electroencephalographic recordings, allows to address several key-questions about the pathophysiology and genetics of absence epilepsy.

TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

TL;DR: Fundamental concepts of nonlinear microscopy are reviewed and conditions relevant for achieving large imaging depths in intact tissue are discussed.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the organizing principles that govern the diversity of inhibitory interneurons and their circuits.

TL;DR: The timing of a sensory input relative to a gamma cycle determined the amplitude and precision of evoked responses and provided the first causal evidence that distinct network activity states can be induced in vivo by cell-type-specific activation.
