Dorsal–Caudal and Ventral Hippocampi Target Different Cell Populations in the Medial Frontal Cortex in Rodents

Direct projections from the ventral hippocampus (vHPC) to the medial frontal cortex (MFC) play crucial roles in memory and emotional regulation. Using anterograde transsynaptic tracing and ex vivo ele...

Early Neural Development of Social Interaction Perception in the Superior Temporal Sulcus

Erratum: Alavash and Obleser, “Brain Network Interconnectivity Dynamics Explain Metacognitive Differences in Listening Behavior”

Whole-Brain Dimensions of Intrinsic Connectivity Capture Modality-Specific and Heteromodal Language Representations

Comprehension of spoken and written language involves a hierarchical sequence of modality-specific and heteromodal processes. While these have been localized to different regions, modality-selective r...

Differential Beta and Gamma Activity Modulation during Unimanual and Bimanual Motor Learning

Movement-related dynamics in the beta and gamma bands have been studied in relation to motor execution and learning during unimanual movements, but their roles in complex bimanual tasks remain largely...

Neural and Behavioral Correlates of Individual Variability in Rat Helping Behavior: A Role for Social Affiliation and Oxytocin Receptors

A prosocial response to others in distress is increasingly recognized as a natural behavior for many social species. While prosocial behavior is more frequently observed toward familiar conspecifics,...

The Role of the Ca ²⁺ -activated Cl ⁻ Conductance in the Membrane Potential and Light Response of Mouse Rods

To characterize the function of the Ca 2+ -activated Cl − current I Cl(Ca)...

The Circadian Clock Component REV-ERB Is an Analgesic Target for Cancer-Induced Tactile Pain Hypersensitivity

Neuropathic pain is one of the most intractable pain conditions associated with tumor growth compressing and damaging nerves. A troublesome hallmark symptom of neuropathic pain is hypersensitivity to...

Single-Trial fMRI Decoding of 3D Motion with Stereoscopic and Perspective Cues

How does the brain process 3D motion? We focused on the human motion complex (hMT+), extending insights from monkey studies. Using 3D-motion stimuli containing perspective and/or stereoscopic cues, we...

Infralimbic Projections to the Substantia Innominata–Ventral Pallidum Constrain Defensive Behavior during Extinction Learning

Fear extinction is critical for decreasing fear responses to a stimulus that is no longer threatening. While it is known that the infralimbic (IL) region of the medial prefrontal cortex mediates retri...

Single Neuron Contributions to the Auditory Brainstem EEG

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is an acoustically evoked EEG potential that is an important diagnostic tool for hearing loss, especially in newborns. The ABR originates from the response sequen...

Clinical Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Residual Language Learning Ability in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness

Recent research suggests that the detection of preserved cognitive function can assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). This study investigates EEG sig...

Statistical Context Learning in Visual Search: Distinct Electrophysiological Signatures of Contextual Guidance and Context Suppression

Facilitation of visual search by repeated distractor contexts is typically studied employing distractor configurations that are 100% predictive of the target location. Yet, real-world contexts vary in...

GABAergic Projections from the Pretectum Boost Retinogeniculate Signal Transfer via Disinhibition

The transfer of retinal signals from the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) to the primary visual cortex (V1) is modulated by a variety of extraretinal inputs, including extrinsic connections fo...

Multimodal MEG and Microstructure–MRI Investigations of the Human Hippocampal Scene Network

Although several studies have demonstrated that perceptual discrimination of complex scenes relies on an extended hippocampal posteromedial system, we currently have limited insight into the specific...

Decomposing Cognitive Processes in the mPFC during Self-Thinking

Past cognitive neuroscience research has demonstrated that thinking about both the self and other activates the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a central hub of the default mode network. The mPFC is...
