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 ...
Differentiating sensitivity of post-stimulus undershoot under diffusion weighting: implication of vascular and neuronal hierarchy.
(PLoS One, 2008-08-13)
The widely used blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal during brain activation,
as measured in typical fMRI methods, is composed of several distinct phases, the last
of which, and perhaps the least understood, is ...
Analysis of the mouse transcriptome for genes involved in the function of the nervous system.
(Genome Res, 2003-06)
We analyzed the mouse Representative Transcript and Protein Set for molecules involved
in brain function. We found full-length cDNAs of many known brain genes and discovered
new members of known brain gene families, including ...
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 ...
Shifting attention to neurons.
(Trends Cogn Sci, 2010-09)
For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)
Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The
two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered.
"Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ...
The evolving capabilities of rhodopsin-based genetically encoded voltage indicators.
(Curr Opin Chem Biol, 2015-08)
Protein engineering over the past four years has made rhodopsin-based genetically
encoded voltage indicators a leading candidate to achieve the task of reporting action
potentials from a population of genetically targeted ...
Microcircuits for attention.
(Neuron, 2007-07-05)
Researchers who study the neuronal basis of cognition face a paradox. If they extract
the brain, its cognitive functions cannot be assessed. On the other hand, the brain's
microcircuits are difficult to study in the intact ...
Convergent differential regulation of SLIT-ROBO axon guidance genes in the brains of vocal learners.
(J Comp Neurol, 2015-04-15)
Only a few distantly related mammals and birds have the trait of complex vocal learning,
which is the ability to imitate novel sounds. This ability is critical for speech
acquisition and production in humans, and is attributed ...
The exon junction complex component Magoh controls brain size by regulating neural stem cell division.
(Nat Neurosci, 2010-05)
Brain structure and size require precise division of neural stem cells (NSCs), which
self-renew and generate intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors
that regulate NSCs remain poorly understood, and ...
