Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Pupil fluctuations track fast switching of cortical states during quiet wakefulness
Neural responses are modulated by brain state, which varies with arousal, attention, and
behavior. In mice, running and whisking desynchronize the cortex and enhance sensory …

Astrocytes regulate cortical state switching in vivo
KE Poskanzer, R Yuste - Proceedings of the National …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The role of astrocytes in neuronal function has received increasing recognition, but
disagreement remains about their function at the circuit level. Here we use in vivo two …

Removal of perineuronal nets unlocks juvenile plasticity through network mechanisms of decreased inhibition and increased gamma activity
KK Lensjø, ME Lepperød, G Dick… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix structures mainly enwrapping
parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons. The assembly of PNNs coincides with the end of …

A comparison of visual response properties in the lateral geniculate nucleus and primary visual cortex of awake and anesthetized mice
The cerebral cortex of the mouse has become one of the most important systems for
studying information processing and the neural correlates of behavior. Multiple studies have …

Enhanced spatial resolution during locomotion and heightened attention in mouse primary visual cortex
We do not fully understand how behavioral state modulates the processing and transmission
of sensory signals. Here, we studied the cortical representation of the retinal image in mice …

Visual functions of the thalamus
The thalamus is the heavily interconnected partner of the neocortex. All areas of the
neocortex receive afferent input from and send efferent projections to specific thalamic …

Inhibitory control of correlated intrinsic variability in cortical networks
Cortical networks exhibit intrinsic dynamics that drive coordinated, large-scale fluctuations
across neuronal populations and create noise correlations that impact sensory coding. To …

Three brain states in the hippocampus and cortex
Contemporary brain research seeks to understand how cognition is reducible to neural
activity. Crucially, much of this effort is guided by a scientific paradigm that views neural …
