Infragranular barrel cortex activity is enhanced with learning.
The barrel cortex (BC) is essential for the acquisition of whisker-signaled trace eyeblink conditioning and shows learning-related expansion of the trained barrels after the acquisition of a whisker-signaled task. Most previous research examining the role of the BC in learning has focused on anatomic changes in the layer IV representation of the cortical barrels. We studied single-unit extracel...

متن کاملChronic suppression of activity in barrel field cortex downregulates sensory responses in contralateral barrel field cortex.
Numerous lines of evidence indicate that neural information is exchanged between the cerebral hemispheres via the corpus callosum. Unilateral ablation lesions of barrel field cortex (BFC) in adult rats induce strong suppression of background and evoked activity in the contralateral barrel cortex and significantly delay the onset of experience-dependent plasticity. The present experiments were d...
متن کاملBarrel cortex function
Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals, is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns. A cortical column is considered the basic module of cortical processing present in all cortical areas. It is believed to contain a characteristic microcircuit composed of a few thousand neurons. The high degree of c...
متن کاملActivity in the barrel cortex during active behavior and sleep.
The rate at which neurons fire has wide-reaching implications for the coding schemes used by neural systems. Despite the extensive use of the barrel cortex as a model system, relatively few studies have examined the rate of sensory activity in single neurons in freely moving animals. We examined the activity of barrel cortex neurons in behaving animals during sensory cue interaction, during non...
