The concept of a dynamic excitation/inhibition balance tuned by circuit disinhibition, which
can shape information flow during complex behavioral tasks, has arisen as an important and …

Highlights•Activity in sensory cortex is modulated by movement.•Sensory cortex integrates
sensory inputs with motor-related inputs.•Motor-related inputs target diverse local circuitry …

Many of the sensations experienced by an organism are caused by their own actions, and
accurately anticipating both the sensory features and timing of self-generated stimuli is …

Attentional modulation of sensory processing is a key feature of cognition; however, its
neural circuit basis is poorly understood. A candidate mechanism is the disinhibition of …

Neurons in the mouse auditory cortex are strongly influenced by behavior, including both
suppression and enhancement of sound-evoked responses during movement. The mouse …

The ability to process and act upon incoming sounds during locomotion is critical for survival
and adaptive behavior. Despite the established role that the auditory cortex (AC) plays in …

Corticothalamic (CT) neurons comprise the largest component of the descending sensory
corticofugal pathway, but their contributions to brain function and behavior remain an …

The auditory system provides us with extremely rich and precise information about the
outside world. Once a sound reaches our ears, the acoustic information it carries travels from …

GABAergic neurons play a crucial role in shaping cortical activity. Even though GABAergic
neurons constitute a small fraction of cortical neurons, their peculiar morphology and …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is the major midbrain auditory integration center, where virtually
all ascending auditory inputs converge. Although the IC has been extensively studied for …
