Journal ArticleDOI

OLM interneurons differentially modulate CA3 and entorhinal inputs to hippocampal CA1 neurons

Richardson N. Leão, +12 more
- 01 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that acetylcholine acting through OLM cells can control the mnemonic processes executed by the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model of the electrically excited human cochlear neuron. II. Influence of the three-dimensional cochlear structure on neural excitability.

Frank Rattay, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: The bony boundary has an insulating influence along every nerve fiber which shifts the stimulation condition from that of a homogeneous extracellular medium towards constant field stimulation: for a target neuron which is stimulated by a ring electrode positioned just below the peripheral end of the fiber the extrace cellular voltage profile is rather linear.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Respiration-Coupled Rhythm in the Rat Hippocampus Independent of Theta and Slow Oscillations.

André Luiz Vieira Lockmann, +3 more
- 11 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Previous studies are reconciled by showing that the hippocampus can actually produce two low-frequency rhythms at nearby frequencies: one that indeed couples to respiration and another that is coupled to the neocortex, which supports a role for brain oscillations in connecting distant brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

On High-Frequency Field Oscillations (>100 Hz) and the Spectral Leakage of Spiking Activity

Robson Scheffer-Teixeira, +4 more
- 23 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: This work shows that high-frequency LFP oscillations can represent either the spectral leakage of spiking activity or a genuine rhythm, depending on recording location, and argues against the idea that all high- frequencies LFP activity stems from spike contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topographic organization in the auditory brainstem of juvenile mice is disrupted in congenital deafness.

Richardson N. Leão, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the MNTB of congenitally deaf mice, which exhibit no spontaneous auditory nerve activity, the normal tonotopic gradients of neuronal properties are absent and this results suggest an underlying mechanism for the observed topographic gradient of neuronal firing properties.
