Brain functions are fundamental for the survival of organisms, and they are supported by
neural circuits consisting of a variety of neurons. To investigate the function of neurons at the …

In the mammalian brain, auditory information is known to be processed along a central
ascending pathway leading to auditory cortex (AC). Whether there exist any major pathways …

It has been proposed that sound information is separately streamed into onset and offset
pathways for parallel processing. However, how offset responses contribute to auditory …

Even simple sensory stimuli evoke neural responses that are dynamic and complex. Are the
temporally patterned neural activities important for controlling the behavioral output? Here …

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) has been used for the development of brain machine
interfaces. However, further understanding about the spatiotemporal responses of neurons …

Identifying sounds is critical for an animal to make appropriate behavioral responses to
environmental stimuli, including vocalizations from conspecifics. Identification of …

Auditory information relayed by auditory nerve fibers and somatosensory information
relayed by granule cell parallel fibers converge on the fusiform cells (FCs) of the dorsal …

Numerous studies indicate that deficits in the proper integration or migration of specific
GABAergic precursor cells from the subpallium to the cortex can lead to severe cognitive …

Cortical neurons are heterogeneous in their functional properties. This heterogeneity is
fundamental for the processing of different features of sensory information. However …

It is well known that auditory experience during early development shapes response
properties of auditory cortex (AC) neurons, influencing, for example, tonotopical …
