The functional organization of the cerebral cortex is modified dramatically by sensory
experience during early postnatal life. The basis for these modifications is a type of synaptic …

A highly interconnected network of arterioles overlies mammalian cortex to route blood to
the cortical mantle. Here we test if this angioarchitecture can ensure that the supply of blood …

This study tested the hypothesis that the receptive fields (RFs) of neurons in the adult
sensory cortex are shaped by the recent history of sensory experience. Sensory experience …

The rodent barrel field cortex integrates somatosensory information from two separate
thalamic nuclei, the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM) and the rostral sector of the …

During tactile learning there is a transformation in the way the primary somatosensory cortex
integrates, represents, and distributes information from the skin. To define this …

Modulation of receptive field properties of thalamic somatosensory neurons by the depth of
anesthesia. The dominant frequency of electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings was used …

The projection from the whiskers of the rat to the S‐I (barrel) cortex is segregated into two
separate pathways—a lemniscal pathway relayed by the ventral posterior medial nucleus …

The neural circuitry within sensory cortex determines its functional properties, and different
solutions have evolved for integrating the activity that arises from an array of sensory inputs …

Abstract Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a heterotrimeric enzyme consisting of a catalytic
subunit (C), a structural subunit (A), and a variable regulatory subunit (B). We have …

Changes in spontaneous activity within the cortex recognized by subthreshold fluctuations of
the membrane potential of cortical neurons modified the response of cortical neurons to …
