Stimulus dependence of barrel cortex directional selectivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2006 Neurons throughout the rat vibrissa somatosensory pathway are sensitive to the angular direction of whisker movement. Could this sensitivity help rats discriminate stimuli?

Progress in Neurobiology, 2013 Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals, is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns. A cortical column is considered the basic module of cortical processing present in all cortical areas. It is believed to contain a characteristic microcircuit composed of a

The functional microarchitecture of the mouse barrel cortex [PDF]
Neuroscience Research, 2007 Cortical maps, consisting of orderly arrangements of functional columns, are a hallmark of the organization of the cerebral cortex. However, the microorganization of cortical maps at the level of single neurons is not known, mainly because of the limitations of available mapping techniques.

Learning-Dependent Plasticity of the Barrel Cortex Is Impaired by Restricting GABA-Ergic Transmission. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Experience-induced plastic changes in the cerebral cortex are accompanied by alterations in excitatory and inhibitory transmission. Increased excitatory drive, necessary for plasticity, precedes the occurrence of plastic change, while decreased ...

The Functional Organization of the Barrel Cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2007 The tactile somatosensory pathway from whisker to cortex in rodents provides a well-defined system for exploring the link between molecular mechanisms, synaptic circuits, and behavior. The primary somatosensory cortex has an exquisite somatotopic map where each individual whisker is represented in a discrete anatomical unit, the "barrel," allowing ...

Cholinergic Signals in Mouse Barrel Cortex during Active Whisker Sensing
Cell Reports, 2014 Summary: Internal brain states affect sensory perception, cognition, and learning. Many neocortical areas exhibit changes in the pattern and synchrony of neuronal activity during quiet versus active behaviors.

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Establishment of precise neuronal connectivity in the neocortex relies on activity-dependent circuit reorganization during postnatal development; however, the nature of cortical activity during this period remains largely unknown.

Auditory-induced response in the primary sensory cortex of rodents.
PLoS ONE, 2018 The details of auditory response at the subthreshold level in the rodent primary somatosensory cortex, the barrel cortex, have not been studied extensively, although several phenomenological reports have been published.

Supra-barrel Distribution of Directional Tuning for Global Motion in the Mouse Somatosensory Cortex
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Rodents explore their environment with an array of whiskers, inducing complex patterns of whisker deflections. Cortical neuronal networks can extract global properties of tactile scenes.

Inactivation of Prefrontal Cortex Delays Emergence From Sevoflurane Anesthesia
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021 Studies aimed at investigating brain regions involved in arousal state control have been traditionally limited to subcortical structures. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that inactivation of prefrontal cortex, but not two subregions within
