Sensory input drives multiple intracellular information streams in somatosensory cortex.
Stable perception arises from the interaction between sensory inputs and internal activity fluctuations in cortex. Here we analyzed how different types of activity contribute to cortical sensory processing at the cellular scale. We performed whole-cell recordings in the barrel cortex of anesthetized rats while applying ongoing whisker stimulation and measured the information conveyed about the ...
متن کاملPOm Thalamocortical Input Drives Layer-Specific Microcircuits in Somatosensory Cortex.
Higher-order thalamic nuclei, such as the posterior medial nucleus (POm) in the somatosensory system or the pulvinar in the visual system, densely innervate the cortex and can influence perception and plasticity. To systematically evaluate how higher-order thalamic nuclei can drive cortical circuits, we investigated cell-type selective responses to POm stimulation in mouse primary somatosensory...
متن کاملInteraction between afferent input from fingers in human somatosensory cortex.
We recorded somatosensory evoked magnetic fields from eight healthy subjects with a 122-channel whole-scalp SQUID magnetometer. The stimulus sequence consisted of 'standard' stimuli (85%) delivered to palmar side of the left thumb with an interstimulus interval of 0.6 s and of 'deviants' (15%), randomly interspersed among the standards, to little finger, and vice versa. Both stimuli activated f...
متن کاملSomatosensory input to auditory association cortex in the macaque monkey.
We investigated the convergence of somatosensory and auditory inputs in within subregions of macaque auditory cortex. Laminar current source density and multiunit activity profiles were sampled with linear array multielectrodes during penetrations of the posterior superior temporal plane in three macaque monkeys. At each recording site, auditory responses to binaural clicks, pure tones, and ban...
متن کاملNeuronal correlates of sensory discrimination in the somatosensory cortex.
Monkeys are able to discriminate the difference in frequency between two periodic mechanical vibrations applied sequentially to the fingertips. It has been proposed that this ability is mediated by the periodicity of the responses in the quickly adapting (QA) neurons of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), instead of the average firing rates. We recorded from QA neurons of S1 while monkeys pe...
