Global view of the functional molecular organization of the avian cerebrum: mirror images and functional columns.
(J Comp Neurol, 2013-11)
Based on quantitative cluster analyses of 52 constitutively expressed or behaviorally
regulated genes in 23 brain regions, we present a global view of telencephalic organization
of birds. The patterns of constitutively expressed ...
Building an organic computing device with multiple interconnected brains.
(Scientific reports, 2015-07-09)
Recently, we proposed that Brainets, i.e. networks formed by multiple animal brains,
cooperating and exchanging information in real time through direct brain-to-brain
interfaces, could provide the core of a new type of computing ...
Simultaneous transcranial magnetic stimulation and single-neuron recording in alert non-human primates.
(Nat Neurosci, 2014-08)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used, noninvasive method for stimulating
nervous tissue, yet its mechanisms of effect are poorly understood. Here we report
new methods for studying the influence of TMS ...
Presynaptic Inputs to Any CNS Projection Neuron Identified by Dual Recombinant Virus Infection.
(PLoS One, 2015)
Although neuroanatomical tracing studies have defined the origin and targets of major
projection neurons (PN) of the central nervous system (CNS), there is much less information
about the circuits that influence these neurons. ...
Transsynaptic Tracing from Peripheral Targets with Pseudorabies Virus Followed by Cholera Toxin and Biotinylated Dextran Amines Double Labeling.
(J Vis Exp, 2015-09-14)
Transsynaptic tracing has become a powerful tool used to analyze central efferents
that regulate peripheral targets through multi-synaptic circuits. This approach has
been most extensively used in the brain by utilizing ...
Mapping nonlinear receptive field structure in primate retina at single cone resolution.
(eLife, 2015-10-30)
The function of a neural circuit is shaped by the computations performed by its interneurons,
which in many cases are not easily accessible to experimental investigation. Here,
we elucidate the transformation of visual signals ...
FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.
(J Neurosci, 2004-03-31)
Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene
linked to human speech and has been the target of positive ...
Neuronal correlates of metacognition in primate frontal cortex.
(Neuron, 2012-08-09)
Humans are metacognitive: they monitor and control their cognition. Our hypothesis
was that neuronal correlates of metacognition reside in the same brain areas responsible
for cognition, including frontal cortex. Recent ...
Division of labor in frontal eye field neurons during presaccadic remapping of visual receptive fields.
(J Neurophysiol, 2012-10)
Our percept of visual stability across saccadic eye movements may be mediated by presaccadic
remapping. Just before a saccade, neurons that remap become visually responsive at
a future field (FF), which anticipates the saccade ...
A screw microdrive for adjustable chronic unit recording in monkeys.
(J Neurosci Methods, 1998-06-01)
A screw microdrive is described that attaches to the grid system used for recording
single neurons from brains of awake behaving monkeys. Multiple screwdrives can be
mounted on a grid over a single cranial opening. This ...
