Cortical Dynamics by Layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neocortical microcircuits of primary sensory cortices play prominent roles in processing peripheral input. The same cortical microcircuits are also spontaneously active, which profoundly influences sensory processing. In this issue of Neuron, Sakata and Harris compare spontaneous and sensory-evoked activity in rat primary auditory cortex, finding interesting similarities and important differences.

The effect of maternal hyperthyroidism on the formation of the cerebellar cortical layers in the rat embryo
It has been shown that maternal hyperthyroidism can affects on neonatal outcomes such as spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth retardation. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hyperthyroidism on formation of cerebellar cortical layers in the rat embryos. Thirty Sprague-Dawley female sexually mature rats weighting 200 ± 20 g were used in the study. Female rats were rand...

متن کاملPyramidal Neurons in Different Cortical Layers Exhibit Distinct Dynamics and Plasticity of Apical Dendritic Spines
The mammalian cerebral cortex is typically organized in six layers containing multiple types of neurons, with pyramidal neurons (PNs) being the most abundant. PNs in different cortical layers have distinct morphology, physiology and functional roles in neural circuits. Therefore, their development and synaptic plasticity may also differ. Using in vivo transcranial two-photon microscopy, we foll...
متن کاملCortical and thalamic contributions to response dynamics across layers of the primary somatosensory cortex during tactile discrimination.
Tactile information processing in the rodent primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is layer specific and involves modulations from both thalamocortical and cortico-cortical loops. However, the extent to which these loops influence the dynamics of the primary somatosensory cortex while animals execute tactile discrimination remains largely unknown. Here, we describe neural dynamics of S1 layers acro...
متن کاملAnesthesia differentially modulates spontaneous network dynamics by cortical area and layer.
Anesthesia is widely used in medicine and research to achieve altered states of consciousness and cognition. Whereas changes to macroscopic cortical activity patterns by anesthesia measured at the spatial resolution of electroencephalography have been widely studied, modulation of mesoscopic and microscopic network dynamics by anesthesia remain poorly understood. To address this gap in knowledg...
متن کاملCortical Membrane Potential Dynamics and Laminar Firing during Object Motion
When an object is introduced moving in the visual field of view, the object maps with different delays in each of the six cortical layers in many visual areas by mechanisms that are poorly understood. We combined voltage sensitive dye (VSD) recordings with laminar recordings of action potentials in visual areas 17, 18, 19 and 21 in ferrets exposed to stationary and moving bars. At the area 17/1...
