Developing a Ministroke Model in Mouse Barrel Cortex. [PDF]
Bio ProtocStroke is a worldwide leading cause of death and long-term disability, with ischemic strokes making up approximately 85% of all cases. There is a significant need for an ideal animal model that accurately replicates the disease's pathology to study the molecular mechanisms of brain injury.

Cell Reports, 2017 Cortical neurons must be specified and make the correct connections during development. Here, we examine a mechanism initiating neuronal circuit formation in the barrel cortex, a circuit comprising thalamocortical axons (TCAs) and layer 4 (L4) neurons ...

Shifts in developmental timing, and not increased levels of experience-dependent neuronal activity, promote barrel expansion in the primary somatosensory cortex of rats enucleated at birth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Birth-enucleated rodents display enlarged representations of whiskers (i.e., barrels of the posteromedial subfield) in the primary somatosensory cortex.

eLife, 2014 Texture discrimination is a fundamental function of somatosensory systems, yet the manner by which texture is coded and spatially represented in the barrel cortex are largely unknown.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Somatosensory signals and operative skills learned by unilateral limbs can be retrieved bilaterally. In terms of cellular mechanism underlying this unilateral learning toward bilateral memory, we hypothesized that associative memory cells in bilateral ...

Deconstructing the Cortical Column in the Barrel Cortex [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2018 The question of what function is served by the cortical column has occupied neuroscientists since its original description some 60years ago. The answer seems tractable in the somatosensory cortex when considering the inputs to the cortical column and the early stages of information processing, but quickly breaks down once the multiplicity of output ...

Rapid Fluctuations in Rat Barrel Cortex Plasticity [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 Neuronal populations in the sensory cortex exhibit fluctuations in excitability, and the present experiments tested the hypothesis that these variations coincide with peaks and troughs in cortical modifiability. The activity of multiunit neuronal clusters under light urethane anesthesia was recorded through 100-microelectrode arrays implanted in the ...

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2018 Focal unilateral injuries to the somatosensory whisker barrel cortex have been shown cause long-lasting deficits in the activity and experience-dependent plasticity of neurons in the intact contralateral barrel cortex.

Molecular Brain, 2013 Loss of a sensory input causes the hypersensitivity in other modalities. In addition to cross-modal plasticity, the sensory cortices without receiving inputs undergo the plastic changes.
