Hippocampal LFP Responses during Pigeon Homing Flight in Outdoors
The hippocampal formation (HF) plays a key role in avian spatial navigation. Previous studies suggest that the HF may serve different functions at various stages in pigeons’ long-distance outdoor homi...
Pre-microsaccadic Modulation in Foveal V1: Enhancement in the Current and Future Stimulus Locations
Microsaccades are miniature saccades performed during visual fixation that were shown to play a pivotal role in active sensing. Recent studies suggested that pre-microsaccadic attention may underlie t...
Developmental Changes in Brain Cellular Membrane and Energy Metabolism: A Multi-occasion <sup>31</sup> P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study
Structural neuroimaging studies of typical development reveal increases in gray matter volume during childhood, followed by shrinkage in adolescence and early adulthood. With neuropil constituting the...
Neural and Behavioral Markers of Negative Symptoms and Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Psychosis
Negative and cognitive symptoms impair functioning in patients with psychotic illnesses [i.e., schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SZ) and bipolar I disorder with psychotic features (BD)]. Disruptions i...
A Positive Allosteric Modulator of the SERCA Pump Rescues Hippocampal Neuronal Circuits Dysfunction and Cognitive Defects in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that affects normal neuronal functioning and alters neuronal circuits activity and memory formation and storage. Disrupted neuronal calc...
Hearing Loss and Audiogenic Seizures Induced by Hypofunctional Prestin Variants
Prestin's voltage-driven motor activity confers sound-elicited somatic electromotility on auditory outer hair cells (OHCs) and is essential for the exquisite sensitivity and frequency selectivity of m...
Emerging Adulthood Is Marked by a Cortical Dendritic Arborization Phase Depending on the Actin Nucleator Cobl
Puberty triggers significant changes. However, besides the pruning of synapses, little is known about more long-range alterations during brain maturation. Actin filament formation—a process ignited by...
Purkinje Cell Spatial Correlation Dynamics Are Key to Cerebellar Cortical Contributions to Behavior
A major challenge in cerebellar physiology is determining how the stereotypic, conserved circuitry of the cerebellar cortex, with its dominant parasagittal and transverse architectures, underlies its...
Shared and Diverging Neural Dynamics Underlying False and Veridical Perception
We often mistake visual noise for meaningful images, which sometimes appear as convincing as veridical percepts. This suggests considerable overlap between the mechanisms that underlie false and verid...
Motion Processing in Visual Cortex of Maculopathy Patients
Previous studies on animal models suggested that visual areas involved in motion processing could undergo important cortical reorganizations following retinal damages. This could have major implicatio...
