Motor and sensory cortical processing of neural oscillatory activities revealed by human swallowing using intracranial electrodes

iScience, 2021
Summary: Swallowing is attributed to the orchestration of motor output and sensory input. We hypothesized that swallowing can illustrate differences between motor and sensory neural processing.

Effects of Monocular Perceptual Learning on Binocular Visual Processing in Adolescent and Adult Amblyopia

iScience, 2020
Summary: Re-establishing normal binocular visual processing is the key to amblyopia recovery beyond the critical period of visual development. Here, by combining perceptual learning, behavioral testing, and steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs)

Descending pathways increase sensory neural response heterogeneity to facilitate decoding and behavior

iScience, 2023
Summary: The functional role of heterogeneous spiking responses of otherwise similarly tuned neurons to stimulation, which has been observed ubiquitously, remains unclear to date.

Corticosterone antagonist or TrkB agonist attenuates schizophrenia-like behavior in a mouse model combining Bdnf-e6 deficiency and developmental stress

iScience, 2022
Summary: While schizophrenia pathogenesis involves both genetic and environmental factors, their specific combinations remain ill-defined. Here we show that deficiency in promoter VI-driven BDNF expression, combined with early-life adversity, results in ...

Higher oxytocin concentrations occur in subjects who build affiliative relationships with companion robots

iScience, 2023
Summary: Building affiliative relationships with others is important for mental health. Recently, robots have been expected to play a role in improving mental health, but there is little scientific evidence as to whether they can build affiliative ...

Drosophila Aversive Behavior toward Erwinia carotovora carotovora Is Mediated by Bitter Neurons and Leukokinin

iScience, 2020
Summary: The phytopathogen Erwinia carotovora carotovora (Ecc) has been used successfully to decipher some of the mechanisms that regulate the interactions between Drosophila melanogaster and bacteria, mostly following forced association between the two ...

Convergence of location, direction, and theta in the rat anteroventral thalamic nucleus

iScience, 2023
Summary: The thalamus and cortex are anatomically interconnected, with the thalamus providing integral information for cortical functions. The anteroventral thalamic nucleus (AV) is reciprocally connected to retrosplenial cortex (RSC).

Curation of microarray oligonucleotides and corresponding ESTs/cDNAs used for gene expression analysis in zebra finches

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objectives Zebra finches are a major model organism for investigating mechanisms of vocal learning, a trait that enables spoken language in humans. The development of cDNA collections with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and microarrays has allowed for ...
