Barrel cortex function

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that recurrent absence seizures originate from the progressive acquisition of pro-ictogenic properties in SoCx neurons and networks during the post-natal period and that these processes cannot be interrupted by early anti-absence treatment.

TL;DR: This approach may help explain why many NDDs with differing genetic causes can result in overlapping phenotypes at similar developmental stages and better predict vulnerable periods within these disorders, with implications for both therapeutic rescue and ultimately, prevention.

TL;DR: It is argued that, paradoxically, the level of cortical circuits is the least understood from a structural point of view and perhaps the best studied from a dynamical one, and the functional consequences of fractality and scale-freeness for brain computation may endow the brain with computational capabilities that transcend current models of neural computation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed wiring diagram for the hand/forelimb-related transcortical circuit is presented, delineating a basic but complex set of cell-type-specific feedforward excitatory connections that selectively and extensively engage diverse intratelencephalic projection neurons, thereby polysynaptically linking subcortical input to cortical motor output to spinal cord.

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.
