Cortical synapses of the world's smallest mammal: An FIB/SEM study in the Etruscan shrew
The present work provides a quantitative dataset of synapses from the Etruscan shrew (the smallest known terrestrial mammal). We have identified common and differing principles of synaptic organization compared to other mammalian species. Abstract The main aim of the present study was to determine if synapses from the exceptionally small brain of the ...

Focal unilateral injuries to the somatosensory whisker barrel cortex have been shown cause long-lasting deficits in the activity and experience-dependent plasticity of neurons in the intact contralateral barrel cortex.

Inhibitory synaptogenesis in mouse somatosensory cortex [PDF]
It is widely believed that inhibitory synapses are not present or present in only small numbers in the rodent cerebral cortex during the early postnatal period when the cortex is being innervated by thalamocortical fibers. Quantitative electron microscopy was carried out on the posteromedial barrel subfield of mouse somatosensory cortex from postnatal ...

Eph and ephrin signaling in the development of the central auditory system
Abstract Acoustic communication relies crucially on accurate interpretation of information about the intensity, frequency, timing, and location of diverse sound stimuli in the environment. To meet this demand, neurons along different levels of the auditory system form precisely organized neural circuits.

The problem of perfect predictors in statistical spike train models [PDF]
Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) have been used extensively in statistical models of spike train data. However, the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters and their uncertainty, can be challenging to compute in situations where response and non-response can be separated by a single predictor or a linear combination of multiple predictors.

Somatosensory cortex participates in the consolidation of human motor memory.
Newly learned motor skills are initially labile and then consolidated to permit retention. The circuits that enable the consolidation of motor memories remain uncertain.

c-Fos expression during temporal order judgment in mice. [PDF]
The neuronal mechanisms for ordering sensory signals in time still need to be clarified despite a long history of research. To address this issue, we recently developed a behavioral task of temporal order judgment in mice.

From hand to brain and back: Grip forces deliver insight into the functional plasticity of somatosensory processes [PDF]
The human somatosensory cortex is intimately linked to other central brain functions such as vision, audition, mechanoreception, and motor planning and control. These links are established through brain learning, and display a considerable functional plasticity.

Cortical maps of somatosensory perception in human
Tactile and movement-related somatosensory perceptions are crucial for our daily lives and survival. Although the primary somatosensory cortex is thought to be the key structure of somatosensory perception, various cortical downstream areas are also ...

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force established the TASK3 working groups to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.
