Journal ArticleDOI

Top-down laminar organization of the excitatory network in motor cortex

TL;DR: In motor cortex, descending excitation from a preamplifier-like network of upper-layer neurons drives output neurons in lower layers, and this analysis provides a quantitative wiring-diagram framework for further investigation of the excitatory networks mediating cortical mechanisms of motor control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural coding during active somatosensation revealed using illusory touch

TL;DR: These results show that mice integrate coding of touch with movement over timescales of a whisking bout to produce perception of active touch, and reduce activity biased behavior, consistent with a spike count code for object detection at a particular location.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recruitment of GABAergic Interneurons in the Barrel Cortex during Active Tactile Behavior.

TL;DR: Firing patterns of defined types of neurons in the barrel cortex are measured, revealing rules of recruitment for interneuron types during behavior, providing foundations for understanding computation in cortical microcircuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light-evoked calcium responses of isolated melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells

TL;DR: Results indicate that Ca2+ influx through VGCCs, activated after action potential firing, was the primary source for light-evoked elevations in ipRGC [Ca2+]i.
