Barrel cortex function

TL;DR: This work proposes that the mechanism of synchronization of interictal spikes in cortical neural networks operates as follows: when excitation occurs, it is followed by inhibition mediated by feedback; this limits the excitation period and thus creates a time window for integration, and this also occurs in neighboring cortical Neural networks.

TL;DR: In this article, a bilateral trimming of all whiskers in WAG/Rij rats during PN1-8 affected seizure activity between 5 and 9 months of age, suggesting consistency of epileptic activity in the cortical focal zone.

TL;DR: The pattern of alterations indicates a change in biophysical AMPA-receptor characteristics in NL-4 neurons that might be caused by alterations of synaptically expressed AMPA/TARP subunits which are related to NL via postsynaptic scaffolding proteins of the post synaptic density.

TL;DR: This chapter briefly describes the connectivity of excitatory neurons of the cerebral cortex, which integrate and transmit information among neocortex regions and to other regions of the brain.

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.
