[HTML][HTML] Spatiotemporal dynamics of cortical sensorimotor integration in behaving mice
Tactile information is actively acquired and processed in the brain through concerted
interactions between movement and sensation. Somatosensory input is often the result of …

Identification of a brainstem circuit regulating visual cortical state in parallel with locomotion
Sensory processing is dependent upon behavioral state. In mice, locomotion is
accompanied by changes in cortical state and enhanced visual responses. Although recent …

Neuronal basis for object location in the vibrissa scanning sensorimotor system
D Kleinfeld, M Deschênes - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
An essential issue in perception is how the location of an object is estimated from tactile
signals in the context of self-generated changes in sensor configuration. Here, we review the …
