A circuit for motor cortical modulation of auditory cortical activity.
Normal hearing depends on the ability to distinguish self-generated sounds from other sounds, and this ability is thought to involve neural circuits that convey copies of motor command signals to various levels of the auditory system. Although such interactions at the cortical level are believed to facilitate auditory comprehension during movements and drive auditory hallucinations in pathologi...
متن کاملForebrain modulation of brainstem gustatory processing.
Taste information in rodents is carried to the rostral portion of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) by axons of the VIIth, IXth and Xth cranial nerves (Beckstead and Norgren, 1979). From the NST, ascending gustatory fibers project to third-order cells within the parabrachial nuclei (PbN) of the pons (Norgren, 1978), and in turn to multiple forebrain nuclei, including the thalamus, insular...
متن کاملModulation of central gustatory coding by temperature.
Changes in oral temperature can influence taste perception, indicating overlap among mechanisms for taste and oral somesthesis. Medullary gustatory neurons can show cosensitivity to temperature, albeit how these cells process combined taste and thermal input is poorly understood. Here, we electrophysiologically recorded orosensory responses (spikes) from 39 taste-sensitive neurons in the nucleu...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal structure of cortical activity: properties and behavioral relevance.
The study was designed to reveal occurrences of precise firing sequences (PFSs) in cortical activity and to test their behavioral relevance. Two monkeys were trained to perform a delayed-response paradigm and to open puzzle boxes. Extracellular activity was recorded from neurons in premotor and prefrontal areas with an array of six microelectrodes. An algorithm was developed to detect PFSs, def...
متن کاملStability of behavioral estimates of activity-dependent modulation of pain
Temporal sensory summation of pain (TSSP) is a proxy measure of windup in humans and results in increased ratings of pain caused by a repetitive, low-frequency noxious stimulus. Aftersensations (ASs) are pain sensations that remain after TSSP has been induced. We examined the within-session and across-session variability in TSSP and AS estimation in healthy participants and in participants with...
