A broad range of evidence regarding the functional organization of the vertebrate brain–
spanning from comparative neurology to experimental psychology and neurophysiology to …

The ascending serotonin (5-HT) neurons innervate the cerebral cortex, hippocampus,
septum and amygdala, all representing brain regions associated with various domains of …

The neuronal substrate for binge eating, which can at times lead to obesity, is not clear. We
find that optogenetic stimulation of mouse zona incerta (ZI) γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) …

Sensory-driven behaviors engage a cascade of cortical regions to process sensory input
and generate motor output. To investigate the temporal dynamics of neural activity at this …

To facilitate the study of the CaMKIIα function in vivo, a CaMKIIα-GFP transgenic mouse line
was generated. Here, our goal is to provide the first neuroanatomical characterization of …

GABA neurons and GABA receptors are conspicuous elements of cerebral cortical
organization. They serve to shape the stimulus-response properties of neurons in the …

The corticothalamic system has an important role in synchronizing the activities of thalamic
and cortical neurons. Numerically, its synapses dominate the inputs to relay cells and to the …

Cadherins are homophilic adhesion molecules that, together with their intracellular binding
partners the catenins, mediate adhesion and signaling at a variety of intercellular junctions …

Loss of maternal UBE3A causes Angelman syndrome (AS), a neurodevelopmental disorder
associated with severe epilepsy. We previously implicated GABAergic deficits onto layer (L) …

Central thalamus plays a critical role in forebrain arousal and organized behavior. However,
network-level mechanisms that link its activity to brain state remain enigmatic. Here, we …
