Visual and Electrosensory Circuits of the Diencephalon in Mormyrids [PDF]
Mormyrids are one of two groups of teleost fishes known to have evolved electroreception, and the concomitant neuroanatomical changes have confounded the interpretation of many of their brain areas in a comparative context, e.g., the diencephalon, where ...

The futuristic manifolds of REM sleep
Summary Since one of its first descriptions 70 years ago, rapid eye movement sleep has continually inspired and excited new generations of sleep researchers. Despite significant advancements in understanding its neurocircuitry, underlying mechanisms and microstates, many questions regarding its function, especially beyond the early neurodevelopment ...

A Neural Model of Surface Perception: Lightness, Anchoring, and Filling-in [PDF]
This article develops a neural model of how the visual system processes natural images under variable illumination conditions to generate surface lightness percepts. Previous models have clarified how the brain can compute the relative contrast of images

Amacrine cell inputs to OFF midget ganglion cells in macaque retina
Abstract figure legend The goal of this study was to explain the findings from physiological studies that OFF midget ganglion cells had larger receptive field centers than expected from their dendritic field diameters. First, we confirmed that OFF mRGCs (OFF MGC) receive input from diffuse bipolar cells (DB) as well as OFF midget bipolar cells (FMB ...

Distribution and characterisation of Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor expressing cells in the mouse brain. [PDF]
© 2015 The Authors.Objective: Although Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a key regulator of energy metabolism and food intake, the precise location of GLP-1 receptors and the physiological relevance of certain populations is debatable.

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex
Abstract figure legend Using large datasets of neural responses to diverse sounds recorded across four stages of the mouse auditory system (depicted and colour‐coded on the left), offset responses occurring after the termination of each sound (time window indicated by the orange shaded area superimposed with activity traces) were characterized and it ...

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system
Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.
