A Standardized Protocol for Efficient and Reliable Quality Control of Brain Registration in Functional MRI Studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2020
Automatic alignment of brain anatomy in a standard space is a key step when processing magnetic resonance imaging for group analyses. Such brain registration is prone to failure, and the results are therefore typically reviewed visually to ensure quality.

Optogenetic/Chemogenetic Activation of GABAergic Neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area Facilitates General Anesthesia via Projections to the Lateral Hypothalamus in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) reportedly regulates sleep and wakefulness through communication with the lateral hypothalamus (LH). It has also been suggested that adequate anesthesia produced by administration of chloral hydrate, ketamine, or ...

A compositionality machine realized by a hierarchic architecture of synfire chains

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2011
The composition of complex behavior is thought to rely on the concurrent and sequentialactivation of simpler action components, or primitives. Systems of synfire chains have previouslybeen proposed to account for either the simultaneous or the sequential
