Advances in optical manipulation and observation of neural activity have set the stage for
widespread implementation of closed-loop and activity-guided optical control of neural …

Highlights•The phase of population oscillators underlying brain rhythms can be reset.•Phase-
resetting theory can help explain how brain rhythms phase-lock.•Phase-locking between …

Perception, cognition and behavior rely on flexible communication between microcircuits in
distinct cortical regions. The mechanisms underlying rapid information rerouting between …

Normal breathing in rodents requires activity of glutamatergic Dbx1-derived (Dbx1+)
preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) neurons expressing somatostatin (SST). We combined in …

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a well-accepted add-on treatment for
patients with severe Parkinsons disease as well as for other chronic neurological conditions …

Gamma is a ubiquitous brain rhythm hypothesized to support cognitive, perceptual, and
mnemonic functions by coordinating neuronal interactions. While much correlational …

Recent advances in computational models of signal propagation and routing in the human
brain have underscored the critical role of white-matter structure. A complementary …

The cortex, hippocampus, and striatum support dissociable forms of memory. While each of
these regions contains specialized circuitry supporting their respective functions, all …

Feedback and closed-loop circuits exist in just about every part of the nervous system. It is
curious, therefore, that for decades neuroscientists have been probing the nervous system in …

Background Negative affect is prevalent in psychiatric diseases such as depression and
addiction. Projections from the infralimbic cortex (IL) to the nucleus accumbens shell …
