Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 Cognitive functions such as attention and working memory are modulated by noradrenaline receptors in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The frontal eye field (FEF) has been shown to play an important role in visual spatial attention.

Chandelier cells control excessive cortical excitation: Characteristics of whisker-evoked synaptic responses of layer 2/3 nonpyramidal and pyramidal neurons [PDF]
, 2004 Chandelier cells form inhibitory axo-axonic synapses on pyramidal neurons with their characteristic candlestick-like axonal terminals. The functional role of chandelier cells is still unclear, although the preferential loss of this cell type at epileptic

CONTRIBUTION OF APICAL DENDRITES TO RECEPTIVE FIELD PROPERTIES IN LAYER 2/3 OF MOUSE V1
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 Although slice recordings and model studies provide a lot of information about how neurons integrate their inputs to overall responses, it is still not clear how neurons in the brain integrate their synaptic inputs to derive their functional properties ...

The Spatial Structure of Stimuli Shapes the Timescale of Correlations in Population Spiking Activity [PDF]
, 2012 Throughout the central nervous system, the timescale over which pairs of neural spike trains are correlated is shaped by stimulus structure and behavioral context.

Morpho-electric diversity of human hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons
Cell ReportsSummary: Hippocampal pyramidal neuron activity underlies episodic memory and spatial navigation. Although extensively studied in rodents, extremely little is known about human hippocampal pyramidal neurons, even though the human hippocampus underwent ...

The transcription factor Cux1 regulates dendritic morphology of cortical pyramidal neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 In the murine cerebral cortex, mammalian homologues of the Cux family transcription factors, Cux1 and Cux2, have been identified as restricted molecular markers for the upper layer (II-IV) pyramidal neurons.

Dynamical Mean Field approximation of a canonical cortical model for studying inter-population synchrony [PDF]
, 2011 The goal of this paper is twofold. We propose and explore a model to study the synchronization among populations in the canonical model of the neocortex proposed previously by (R.J. Douglas, K.A.C. Martin, A functional microcircuit for cat visual cortex.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 Despite accounting for about 20% of all the layer 2/3 inhibitory interneurons, the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) expressing neurons remain the least thoroughly studied of the major inhibitory subtypes.

Dedicated hippocampal inhibitory networks for locomotion and immobility [PDF]
, 2017 Network activity is strongly tied to animal movement; however, hippocampal circuits selectively engaged during locomotion or immobility remain poorly characterized.
