Barrel cortex function
Dirk Feldmeyer,Michael Brecht,Fritjof Helmchen,Carl C.H. Petersen,James F.A. Poulet,Jochen F. Staiger,Heiko J. Luhmann,Cornelius Schwarz +7 more
TL;DR: It is argued that in order to understand neocortical function one needs to combine a microscopic view, elucidating the workings of the local columnar microcircuits, with a macroscopic view, which keeps track of the linkage of distant cortical modules in different behavioral contexts.

Direct contribution of the sensory cortex to the judgment of stimulus duration
Sebastian Reinartz,Arash Fassihi,Maria Ravera,L. Paz,Francesca Pulecchi,M. Gigante,Mathew E Diamond +6 more
TL;DR: Time perception is thus as deeply intermeshed within the sensory processing pathway as is the sense of touch itself, suggesting that the experience of time may be further investigated with the toolbox of sensory coding.

A Novel Method for Training Mice in Visuo-Tactile 3-D Object Discrimination and Recognition.
TL;DR: A novel method for training and testing mice in visual and tactile object discrimination, recognition and memory is described, and it is used to begin to examine the underlying sensory basis for these cognitive capacities.

TL;DR: It is shown that a whisker protraction reflex can be elicited following rostro-caudal pad stimulation, and that short-term kinematics of this reflex are enhanced when coherent complex spike activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells occurs in crus 1.

In vivo voltage-sensitive dye imaging of mouse cortical activity with mesoscopic optical tomography.
Qinggong Tang,Qinggong Tang,Vassiliy Tsytsarev,Feng Yan,Chen Wang,Reha S. Erzurumlu,Yu Chen,Yu Chen +7 more
TL;DR: 3D mesoscopic imaging technique has the potential to investigate the layer-specific neural connectivity in the mouse cortex in vivo and is a promising platform for determining depth-resolved interactions between cortical circuit elements.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
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.
Deep tissue two-photon microscopy
Fritjof Helmchen,Winfried Denk +1 more
TL;DR: Fundamental concepts of nonlinear microscopy are reviewed and conditions relevant for achieving large imaging depths in intact tissue are discussed.
Interneurons of the neocortical inhibitory system.
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.
