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.

Sensorimotor Integration in the Whisker System
Patrik Krieger,Alexander Groh +1 more
- 01 Jan 2015
TL;DR: This book explores the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration that allow the sensory and motor systems to communicate and coordinate their activity.
Layer-Dependent Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity Between Excitatory Neurons in the C2 Barrel Column of Mouse Primary Somatosensory Cortex.
TL;DR: Interestingly, however, presynaptic layer 2 neurons predominantly give rise to facilitating excitatory synaptic output at short interspike intervals of 10 and 30 ms, which may, therefore, be functionally relevant, possibly serving to enhance the postsynaptic impact of burst firing.
Olfactory Development, Part 1: Function, From Fetal Perception to Adult Wine-Tasting:
TL;DR: Diverse malformations of the olfactory bulb can be diagnosed by clinical examination, imaging, and neuropathology, especially in patients with brainmalformations, endocrinopathies, chromosomopathies and genetic/metabolic diseases.
State-Dependent Synchrony and Functional Connectivity in the Primary and Secondary Whisker Somatosensory Cortices.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of whisker activation on synchronization and functional connectivity of the primary and secondary cortex at the single-cell level and found that neurons with congruent tuning properties were more likely to remain functionally connected with nearby neurons which shared similar tuning characteristics.
Cell type-specific structural organization of the six layers in rat barrel cortex
TL;DR: It is shown that within each layer, somata of multiple cell types intermingle, but that each cell type displays dendrite and axon distributions that are aligned to specific cytoarchitectonic landmarks.

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.
