Packet-based communication in the cortex
Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …

Beyond the brain-computer interface: Decoding brain activity as a tool to understand neuronal mechanisms subtending cognition and behavior
One of the major challenges in system neurosciences consists in developing techniques for
estimating the cognitive information content in brain activity. This has an enormous potential …

Cross-modality sharpening of visual cortical processing through layer-1-mediated inhibition and disinhibition
Cross-modality interaction in sensory perception is advantageous for animals' survival. How
cortical sensory processing is cross-modally modulated and what are the underlying neural …

Spontaneous cortical activity alternates between motifs defined by regional axonal projections
Using millisecond-timescale voltage-sensitive dye imaging in lightly anesthetized or awake
adult mice, we show that a palette of sensory-evoked and hemisphere-wide activity motifs …

[HTML][HTML] Sound-driven synaptic inhibition in primary visual cortex
Multimodal objects and events activate many sensory cortical areas simultaneously. This is
possibly reflected in reciprocal modulations of neuronal activity, even at the level of primary …

Targeted mini-strokes produce changes in interhemispheric sensory signal processing that are indicative of disinhibition within minutes
MH Mohajerani, K Aminoltejari… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Most processing of sensation involves the cortical hemisphere opposite (contralateral) to the
stimulated limb. Stroke patients can exhibit changes in the interhemispheric balance of …

Perceiving invisible light through a somatosensory cortical prosthesis
EE Thomson, R Carra, MAL Nicolelis - Nature communications, 2013 - nature.com
Sensory neuroprostheses show great potential for alleviating major sensory deficits. It is not
known, however, whether such devices can augment the subject's normal perceptual range …

Oscillatory entrainment of primary somatosensory cortex encodes visual control of tactile processing
K Sieben, B Röder, IL Hanganu-Opatz - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Optimal behavior relies on the successful integration of complementary information from
multiple senses. The neural mechanisms underlying multisensory interactions are still poorly …
