The origin of thalamic inputs to the "hand" representation in the primary motor cortex.
We used retrograde transport of WGA-HRP to examine the origin of thalamic inputs to the "hand" representation in the primary motor cortex of macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Injections were placed in either the crest of the precentral gyrus or the rostral bank of the central sulcus. The sites for injection in the sulcus were determined by using intracortical stimulation to map the location of hand...
متن کاملResponses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملLayer IV of the primary somatosensory cortex has the highest complexity under anesthesia and cortical complexity is modulated by specific thalamic inputs.
The system complexity, as calculated from correlation dimension, embedded in each layer and its modulation by specific inputs and general excitatory state are not yet known. The aims of present study were to estimate the system complexity across the cortical layers by analyzing intracortical EEG signals using a nonlinear analytical method, and to identify how layer-related complexity varies wit...
متن کاملUP States Protect Ongoing Cortical Activity from Thalamic Inputs
Cortical neurons in vitro and in vivo fluctuate spontaneously between two stable membrane potentials: a depolarized UP state and a hyperpolarized DOWN state. UP states temporally correspond with multineuronal firing sequences which may be important for information processing. To examine how thalamic inputs interact with ongoing cortical UP state activity, we used calcium imaging and targeted wh...
متن کاملCone inputs in macaque primary visual cortex.
To understand the role of primary visual cortex (V1) in color vision, we measured directly the input from the 3 cone types in macaque V1 neurons. Cells were classified as luminance-preferring, color-luminance, or color-preferring from the ratio of the peak amplitudes of spatial frequency responses to red/green equiluminant and to black/white (luminance) grating patterns, respectively. In this s...
