Dorsal-CA1 Hippocampal Neuronal Ensembles Encode Nicotine-Reward Contextual Associations.
Natural and drug rewards increase the motivational valence of stimuli in the environment that, through Pavlovian learning mechanisms, become conditioned stimuli that directly motivate behavior in the absence of the original unconditioned stimulus. While the hippocampus has received extensive attention for its role in learning and memory processes, less is known regarding its role in drug-reward...
متن کاملA robust activity marking system for exploring active neuronal ensembles
Understanding how the brain captures transient experience and converts it into long lasting changes in neural circuits requires the identification and investigation of the specific ensembles of neurons that are responsible for the encoding of each experience. We have developed a Robust Activity Marking (RAM) system that allows for the identification and interrogation of ensembles of neurons. Th...
متن کاملDendrites Enable a Robust Mechanism for Neuronal Stimulus Selectivity
Hearing, vision, touch: underlying all of these senses is stimulus selectivity, a robust information processing operation in which cortical neurons respond more to some stimuli than to others. Previous models assume that these neurons receive the highest weighted input from an ensemble encoding the preferred stimulus, but dendrites enable other possibilities. Nonlinear dendritic processing can ...
متن کاملMathematical and Computational Modeling of Neurons and Neuronal Ensembles
In Computational Neuroscience, mathematical and computationalmodeling are differentiated. In this paper, both kinds ofmodeling are considered. In particular, modeling approaches to signal generation and processing in single neurons (i.e., membrane excitation dynamics, spike propagation, and dendritic integration) and to spatiotemporal activity patterns in neuronal ensembles are discussed.
متن کاملRelationship between functional magnetic resonance imaging-identified regions and neuronal category selectivity.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used extensively to identify regions in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex that are selective for categories of visual stimuli. However, comparatively little is known about the neuronal responses relative to these fMRI-defined regions. Here, we compared in nonhuman primates the distribution and response properties of IT neurons recorded withi...
