Book
The synaptic organization of the brain
TL;DR: Introduction to synaptic circuits, Gordon M.Shepherd and Christof Koch membrane properties and neurotransmitter actions, David A.Brown and Anthony M.Brown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anthony Holtmaat,Joshua T. Trachtenberg,Linda Wilbrecht,Gordon M. Shepherd,Xiaoqun Zhang,Graham Knott,Karel Svoboda +6 more
TL;DR: In 6-month-old mice, spines turn over more slowly in visual compared to somatosensory cortex, possibly reflecting differences in the capacity for experience-dependent plasticity in these brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of olfactory discrimination : Converging evidence for common principles across phyla
TL;DR: The findings support the hypothesis that olfactory transduction and neural processing in the peripheral Olfactory pathway involve basic mechanisms that are universal across most species in most phyla.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neocortical circuit: themes and variations
TL;DR: Similarities in neocortical circuit organization across areas and species suggest a common strategy to process diverse types of information, including sensation from diverse modalities, motor control and higher cognitive processes.
Book
Olfactory bulb
TL;DR: The Olfactory bulb is the primary center for transmission of olfactory information to the vertebrate brain and provides for integration and modulation of the information by means of pathways from midbrain and forebrain centers.
