The neuroscience of cognitive-motivational styles: Sign- and goal-trackers as animal models.

TL;DR: The opponent cognitive-motivational styles that are indexed by sign- and goal-tracking bestow different cognitive-behavioral vulnerabilities that may contribute to the manifestation of a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Altered Cholinergic Tones on the Neurovascular Coupling Response to Whisker Stimulation.

TL;DR: Investigating how acetylcholine (ACh), known to drive brain states of attention and arousal and to be deficient in pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease, would alter neurovascular coupling responses to sensory stimulation concluded that ACh is not only a potent modulator but also a requirement for the full expression of sensory-evoked neurov vascular coupling responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Muscarinic Modulation in the Olfactory Bulb.

TL;DR: New evidence is provided that cholinergic modulation differentially regulates two parallel circuits that process chemosensory information, the accessory and main olfactory bulb (AOB and MOB, respectively), which consist of remarkably similar synaptic arrangement and neuronal types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a Unified View on Pathways and Functions of Neural Recurrent Processing.

TL;DR: PP provides a broad explanatory framework under which stimulus-context modulation and high-level processing are subsumed, involving multiple feedback pathways that provide mechanisms for inferring and interpreting what sensory inputs are about.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin Decreases the Gain of Visual Responses in Awake Macaque V1.

TL;DR: It is found that serotonin mainly decreased the gain of the visual responses, without systematically changing their selectivity, variability, or covariability, which identifies a simple computational function of serotonin for state-dependent sensory processing, depending on the animal's affective or motivational state.

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

TL;DR: The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use and includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material.
Journal ArticleDOI

The analysis of visual motion: a comparison of neuronal and psychophysical performance.

TL;DR: The ability of psychophysical observers and single cortical neurons to discriminate weak motion signals in a stochastic visual display is compared and psychophysical decisions in this task are likely to be based upon a relatively small number of neural signals.

Uncertainty, neuromodulation, and attention.

Angela J. Yu, +1 more
- 19 May 2005 - 
TL;DR: This formulation is consistent with a wealth of physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral data implicating acetylcholine and norepinephrine in specific aspects of a range of cognitive processes and suggests a class of attentional cueing tasks that involve both neuromodulators and how their interactions may be part-antagonistic, part-synergistic.

Modulation of Visual Responses by Behavioral State in Mouse Visual Cortex

TL;DR: The response properties of neurons in primary visual cortex of awake mice that were allowed to run on a freely rotating spherical treadmill with their heads fixed demonstrated powerful cell-type-specific modulation of visual processing by behavioral state in awake mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical map reorganization enabled by nucleus basalis activity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that episodic electrical stimulation of the nucleus basalis, paired with an auditory stimulus, results in a massive progressive reorganization of the primary auditory cortex in the adult rat, suggesting that input characteristics may be able to drive appropriate alterations of receptive fields independently of explicit knowledge of the task.
