Hubel and Wiesel began the modern study of development and plasticity of primary visual
cortex (V1), discovering response properties of cortical neurons that distinguished them from …

Vision is the sense humans rely on most to navigate the world, make decisions, and perform
complex tasks. Understanding how humans see thus represents one of the most …

Brain organoids created from human pluripotent stem cells represent a promising approach
for brain repair. They acquire many structural features of the brain and raise the possibility of …

To produce consistent sensory perception, neurons must maintain stable representations of
sensory input. However, neurons in many regions exhibit progressive drift across days …

How the Body Shapes the Mind is an interdisciplinary work that addresses philosophical
questions by appealing to evidence found in experimental psychology, neuroscience …

In this paper we present a very exciting overlap between emergent nanotechnology and
neuroscience, which has been discovered by neuromorphic engineers. Specifically, we are …

Sensory processing occurs in neocortical microcircuits in which synaptic connectivity is
highly structured,,, and excitatory neurons form subnetworks that process related sensory …

NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) mediate many forms of synaptic plasticity. These
tetrameric receptors consist of two obligatory NR1 subunits and two regulatory subunits …

The cerebral cortex of the human brain is a sheet of about 10 billion neurons divided into
discrete subdivisions or areas that process particular aspects of sensation, movement, and …

Patterns of synaptic connections in the visual system are remarkably precise. These
connections dictate the receptive field properties of individual visual neurons and ultimately …
