Barrel cortex function

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and mRNA expression analysis and examined the effects of somatosensory experience in adult rats, finding that myelin-related genes revealed higher myelin basic protein expression in WM.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the temporal organization of whisker movement activity in neonatal rats is significantly different in the states of sleep and waking and that whisker movements in both behavioral states showed strong correlations with the animal’s body movements.

TL;DR: In this paper , a quantitative immunoelectron microscopy study was adopted to comprehensively characterize the output of VIP interneurons across the whole laminae of mouse barrel cortex.

TL;DR: It is shown that congenital hypothyroidism alters the thalamocortical projection pattern from VPM and PO thalamic nuclei to barrel 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.

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.
