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 …

What any sensory neuron knows about the world is one of the cardinal questions in
Neuroscience. Information from the sensory periphery travels across synaptically coupled …

The mystery of general anesthesia is that it specifically suppresses consciousness by
disrupting feedback signaling in the brain, even when feedforward signaling and basic …

The influence of motor activity on sensory processing is crucial for perception and motor
execution. However, the underlying circuits are not known. To unravel the circuit by which …

Neural computation involves diverse types of GABAergic inhibitory interneurons that are
integrated with excitatory (E) neurons into precisely structured circuits. To understand how …

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-
specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these …

Layer (L) 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) are sparsely
active, spontaneously and during sensory stimulation. Long-range inputs from higher areas …

Sensation involves active movement of sensory organs, but it remains unknown how
position or movement of sensory organs is encoded in cortex. In the rat whisker system …

The thalamus transmits sensory information to the neocortex and receives neocortical,
subcortical, and neuromodulatory inputs. Despite its obvious importance, surprisingly little is …

Active sensing involves the fusion of internally generated motor events with external
sensation. For rodents, active somatosensation includes scanning the immediate …
