Top-down feedback in cortex is critical for guiding sensory processing, which has
prominently been formalized in the theory of hierarchical predictive coding (hPC). However …

Acetylcholine plays an essential role in fundamental aspects of cognition. Studies that have
mapped the activity and functional connectivity of cholinergic neurons have shown that the …

Many of our daily activities, such as riding a bike to work or reading a book in a noisy cafe,
and highly skilled activities, such as a professional playing a tennis match or a violin …

Motor circuits develop in sequence from those governing fast movements to those governing
slow. Here we examine whether upstream sensory circuits are organized by similar …

The primary motor cortex (M1) exhibits a protracted period of development, including the
development of a sensory representation long before motor outflow emerges. In rats, this …

To better understand the function of cholinergic projection neurons in the ventral pallidum
(VP), we examined behavioral responses to appetitive (APP) and aversive (AV) odors that …

Abstracts Functional connectivity, which reflects the spatial and temporal organization of
intrinsic activity throughout the brain, is one of the most studied measures in human …

Summary Layer 1 (L1) of the neocortex acts as a nexus for the collection and processing of
widespread information. By integrating ascending inputs with extensive top-down activity …

Acetylcholine (ACh) neurons in the central nervous system are required for the coordination
of neural network activity during higher brain functions, such as attention, learning, and …

Cerebellar granule cells (GrCs) are usually regarded as a uniform cell type that collectively
expands the coding space of the cerebellum by integrating diverse combinations of mossy …
