Sensory over-responsivity and social cognition in ASD: Effects of aversive sensory stimuli and attentional modulation on neural responses to social cues. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) is a common condition in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) that is associated with greater social impairment. However, the mechanisms through which sensory stimuli may affect social functioning are not well understood.

Projection-specific Activity of Layer 2/3 Neurons Imaged in Mouse Primary Somatosensory Barrel Cortex During a Whisker Detection Task

open access: yesFunction, 2020
The brain processes sensory information in a context- and learning-dependent manner for adaptive behavior. Through reward-based learning, relevant sensory stimuli can become linked to execution of specific actions associated with positive outcomes.

Shapes, scents and sounds:quantifying the full multi-sensory basis of conceptual knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Contemporary neuroscience theories assume that concepts are formed through experience in multiple sensory-motor modalities. Quantifying the contribution of each modality to different object categories is critical to understanding the structure of the ...

A correspondence-based neural mechanism for position invariant feature processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Poster presentation: Introduction We here focus on constructing a hierarchical neural system for position-invariant recognition, which is one of the most fundamental invariant recognition achieved in visual processing [1,2].

Cholinergic Signals in Mouse Barrel Cortex during Active Whisker Sensing

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Summary: Internal brain states affect sensory perception, cognition, and learning. Many neocortical areas exhibit changes in the pattern and synchrony of neuronal activity during quiet versus active behaviors.

Parvalbumin-Expressing GABAergic Neurons in Mouse Barrel Cortex Contribute to Gating a Goal-Directed Sensorimotor Transformation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Sensory processing in neocortex is primarily driven by glutamatergic excitation, which is counterbalanced by GABAergic inhibition, mediated by a diversity of largely local inhibitory interneurons.

Diverse Long-Range Axonal Projections of Excitatory Layer 2/3 Neurons in Mouse Barrel Cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in perceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas.

Wireless Measurement of Sympathetic Arousal During in vivo Occupational Therapy Sessions

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
PurposeOne goal of occupational therapists working with children who have sensory processing challenges is the regulation of arousal. Regulation strategies have not been evaluated using an empirical measure of physiological arousal.ObjectiveTo establish ...

The relationship between sensory sensitivity and autistic traits in the general population. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) tend to have sensory processing difficulties (Baranek et al. in J Child Psychol Psychiatry 47:591–601, 2006).

Target-specific membrane potential dynamics of neocortical projection neurons during goal-directed behavior

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Goal-directed behavior involves distributed neuronal circuits in the mammalian brain, including diverse regions of neocortex. However, the cellular basis of long-range cortico-cortical signaling during goal-directed behavior is poorly understood.
