▪ Abstract We explore the extent to which neocortical circuits generalize, ie, to what extent
can neocortical neurons and the circuits they form be considered as canonical? We find that …

Generalized non-convulsive absence seizures are characterized by the occurrence of
synchronous and bilateral spike and wave discharges (SWDs) on the electroencephalogram …

In all mammals, much of the neocortex consists of orderly representations or maps of
receptor surfaces that are typically topographic at a global level, while being modular at the …

Associational connections of pyramidal cells in rat posterior piriform cortex were studied by
direct visualization of axons stained by intracellular injection in vivo. The results revealed …

To test the hypothesis that areas within rat visual cortex are organized in a multilevel
hierarchy, we have employed Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin as an anterograde axonal …

Because of its distinctive architecture, connections, and functions, primary visual cortex, area
17 or V1 of primates, can be easily identified in most mammals (Kaas, 1987). V1 (also …

We performed experiments to determine whether axonal sprouting occurs in neurons of
chronic neocortical epileptogenic lesions. Partially isolated somatosensory cortical islands …

It is generally accepted that in mammals visual information is sent to the brain along
functionally specialized parallel pathways, but whether the mouse visual system uses similar …

Understanding the spatio-temporal features of the information processing occurring in any
complex neural structure requires the monitoring and analysis of the activity in populations …

The early development ofthalamocortical and corticothalarnic projections in hamsters was
studied to compare the specificity and maturation of these pathways, and to identify potential …
