In mammals, the perception of visual stimuli is supported by the coordinated activity of thousands of neurons in different brain regions. The images perceived by the eyes are represented in the brain, ...
Brain plasticity refers to synaptic restructuring in which infrequently used synapses are degraded and frequently used synapses are enhanced. There is a critical but temporary period in which brain ...
Therefore, by employing optogenetic stimulation of layer IV–VI pyramidal neurons, we tested whether the properties of ON and OFF responses are modulated independently, i.e., whether feedback ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...
Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...
The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
