Obesity and Gut–Brain Communication: The Cholinergic-Endocannabinoid Link
Diverse Firing Profiles of <i>Crhbp</i>-positive Neurons in the Dorsal Pons Suggestive of Their Pleiotropic Roles in REM Sleep Regulation in Mice
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is primarily regulated by the brainstem pons. In particular, the sublaterodorsal tegmentum (SubLDT) in the dorsal pons contains neurons whose activity is selective to RE...
EEG Correlates of Active Removal from Working Memory
The removal of no-longer-relevant information from visual working memory (WM) is important for the functioning of WM, given its severe capacity limitation. Previously, with an “ABC-retrocuing” WM task...
Attentional Precursors of Errors Predict Error-Related Brain Activity
The error negativity or error-related negativity (Ne/ERN), a correlate of errors in choice tasks, is related to posterror adjustments indicating that it signals the need for behavioral adjustments fol...
Presynaptic Mu Opioid Receptors Suppress the Functional Connectivity of Ventral Tegmental Area Dopaminergic Neurons with Aversion-Related Brain Regions
Opioid abuse poses a major healthcare challenge. To meet this challenge, the brain mechanisms underlying opioid abuse need to be more systematically characterized. It is commonly thought that the addi...
Bmal1 Modulates Striatal cAMP Signaling and Motor Learning
The circadian rhythm shapes behavioral processes by providing temporal cues for molecular regulation and adaptation in the hypothalamus of the brain. Deeper yet in the striatum of the brain, circadian...
The Representational Organization of Static and Dynamic Visual Features in the Human Cortex
Visual information consists of static and dynamic properties. How is their representation organized in the visual system? Static information has been associated with ventral temporal regions while dyn...
Neural Distinction between Visual Word and Object Recognition: An fMRI Study Using Pictographs
It remains an open question in visual neuroscience whether the recognition of written words and visual objects engages distinct neural mechanisms intrinsically, unaffected by confounding factors such...
Directed Neural Network Dynamics in Sensorimotor Integration: Divergent Roles of Frontal Theta Band Activity Depending on Age
Sensorimotor integration processes are crucial for daily-life activities, such as grasping objects or driving a car. Theta band activity (TBA) in distributed brain networks is likely essential to perf...
