Barrel cortex function

TL;DR: The functional properties of spindle burst activity, the mechanisms underlying their generation, the synchronous patterns and cortical networks associated with spindle bursts, and the physiological and pathophysiological role of spindles bursts during early cortical development are discussed.

TL;DR: It is recommended that testing of olfactory reflexes of the neonate can be reliably tested in the neonatal neurologic examination, especially in children with brain malformations, endocrinopathies, chromosomopathic disorders, genetic/metabolic disorders, and perinatal hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prominent nicotinic input was reported to selectively depolarize a subtype of GABAergic neuron expressing vasoactive intestinal peptide leading to disinhibition during active sensorimotor processing.

TL;DR: Short-term depression of GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses at layer 2/3 pyramidal cells in the mouse barrel cortex exhibits rapid decay of GABAergic and slower decay of glutamatergic synapses.

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.
