Nonlocal mechanism for cluster synchronization in neural circuits

open access: yes, 2011
The interplay between the topology of cortical circuits and synchronized activity modes in distinct cortical areas is a key enigma in neuroscience. We present a new nonlocal mechanism governing the periodic activity mode: the greatest common divisor (GCD)

The behavioral signature of stepwise learning strategy in male rats and its neural correlate in the basal forebrain

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Studies of associative learning have commonly focused on how rewarding outcomes are predicted by either sensory stimuli or animals’ actions. However, in many learning scenarios, reward delivery requires the occurrence of both sensory stimuli and animals’

Unraveling the Central Proopiomelanocortin Neural Circuits [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons form a potent anorexigenic network, but our understanding of the integration of this hypothalamic circuit throughout the central nervous system (CNS) remains incomplete. POMC neurons extend projections along the rostrocaudal axis of the brain, and can signal with both POMC-derived peptides and fast amino acid ...

Exosomes regulate neurogenesis and circuit assembly. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Exosomes are thought to be released by all cells in the body and to be involved in intercellular communication. We tested whether neural exosomes can regulate the development of neural circuits.

The complexity of dynamics in small neural circuits

open access: yes, 2015
Mean-field theory is a powerful tool for studying large neural networks. However, when the system is composed of a few neurons, macroscopic differences between the mean-field approximation and the real behavior of the network can arise. Here we introduce

Speaker Normalization Using Cortical Strip Maps: A Neural Model for Steady State vowel Categorization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Auditory signals of speech are speaker-dependent, but representations of language meaning are speaker-independent. The transformation from speaker-dependent to speaker-independent language representations enables speech to be learned and understood from ...

Neural circuits for taste sensation. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Cells
The sense of taste arises from the detection of chemicals in food by taste buds, the peripheral cellular detectors for taste. Although numerous studies have extensively investigated taste buds, research on neural circuits from primary taste neurons innervating taste buds to the central nervous system has only recently begun owing to recent advancements

In Vivo Single-Cell Genotyping of Mouse Cortical Neurons Transfected with CRISPR/Cas9

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: CRISPR/Cas-based technologies have revolutionized genetic approaches to addressing a wide range of neurobiological questions. The ability of CRISPR/Cas to introduce mutations into target genes allows us to perform in vivo loss-of-function ...

What Is Wrong with the No-Report Paradigm and How to Fix It [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Is consciousness based in prefrontal circuits involved in cognitive processes like thought, reasoning, and memory or, alternatively, is it based in sensory areas in the back of the neocortex?
