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.

Sleep Spindles: Mechanisms and Functions.
TL;DR: Their fine spatiotemporal organization reflects NREMS as a physiological state coordinated over brain and body and may indicate, if not anticipate and ultimately differentiate, pathologies in sleep and neurodevelopmental, -degenerative and -psychiatric conditions.

A Cellular Resolution Map of Barrel Cortex Activity during Tactile Behavior
TL;DR: This work reveals sparse and spatially intermingled representations of multiple tactile features in mice expressing GCaMP6s and nuclear red fluorescent proteins during performance of a single whisker object localization task and an encoding model related activity to behavioral variables.

Spontaneous Neuronal Activity in Developing Neocortical Networks: From Single Cells to Large-Scale Interactions.
Heiko J. Luhmann,Anne Sinning,Jenq-Wei Yang,Vicente Reyes-Puerta,Maik C. Stüttgen,Sergei Kirischuk,Werner Kilb +6 more
TL;DR: Early spontaneous activity patterns control the formation of developing networks in sensory cortices, and disturbances of these activity patterns may lead to long-lasting neuronal deficits.
Sensitive and critical periods during neurotypical and aberrant neurodevelopment: a framework for neurodevelopmental disorders.
TL;DR: The potential for the use of known critical and sensitive periods during vertebrate development to investigate and advance the understanding of the neural bases underlying impairments in these developmental disorders of the nervous system is highlighted.

Membrane potential dynamics of neocortical projection neurons driving target-specific signals.
Takayuki Yamashita,Aurélie Pala,Leticia Pedrido,Yves Kremer,Egbert Welker,Carl C.H. Petersen +5 more
TL;DR: Making whole-cell recordings in primary somatosensory barrel cortex of behaving mice shows that S1 neurons projecting to primary motor cortex and those projecting to secondary somatoensory cortex have distinct intrinsic membrane properties and exhibit markedly different membrane potential dynamics during behavior.

Subplate Cells: Amplifiers of Neuronal Activity in the Developing Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: It is proposed that neuronal networks are organized at earliest stages in a gap junction coupled columnar syncytium, and that the subplate does not only serve as a transient relay station for afferent inputs, but rather as an active element amplifying the afferent and intracortical activity.
Trial sequence of changed unit activity in auditory system of alert rat during conditioned response acquisition and extinction.
John F. Disterhoft,D. K. Stuart +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis was advanced that the auditory lemniscal adjunct afferent system may play a primary role in the early phases of auditory conditioned-response acquisition.

TL;DR: Axonal calcium imaging is used to track activity in vM1→vS1 afferents in L1 of the barrel cortex while mice performed whisker-dependent object localization and neuron information to integrate movements and touches of multiple whiskers over time is tracked.
The Subthreshold Relation between Cortical Local Field Potential and Neuronal Firing Unveiled by Intracellular Recordings in Awake Rats
TL;DR: This data, supported by further analysis, suggests that LFP STA does not represent large network events specific to the spike times, but rather the synchrony between the mean synaptic activity of the population and the membrane potential of the single neuron, present both around spike times and in the intervals between spikes.
Texture Coding in the Rat Whisker System: Slip-Stick Versus Differential Resonance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that texture information is encoded not by differential resonant motion across whiskers, but by the magnitude and temporal pattern of slip-stick motion, which occurred prominently during whisking on surfaces.
