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 ...
Brain evolution by brain pathway duplication.
(Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2015-12-19)
Understanding the mechanisms of evolution of brain pathways for complex behaviours
is still in its infancy. Making further advances requires a deeper understanding of
brain homologies, novelties and analogies. It also requires ...
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 ...
The G-protein-coupled receptor kinases beta ARK1 and beta ARK2 are widely distributed at synapses in rat brain.
(J Neurosci, 1992-10)
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) phosphorylates the agonist-occupied
beta-adrenergic receptor to promote rapid receptor uncoupling from Gs, thereby attenuating
adenylyl cyclase activity. Beta ARK-mediated receptor ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identifying corollary discharges for movement in the primate brain.
(Prog Brain Res, 2004)
The brain keeps track of the movements it makes so as to process sensory input accurately
and coordinate complex movements gracefully. In this chapter we review the brain's
strategies for keeping track of fast, saccadic ...
Metacognition in monkeys during an oculomotor task.
(J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn, 2011-03)
This study investigated whether rhesus monkeys show evidence of metacognition in a
reduced, visual oculomotor task that is particularly suitable for use in fMRI and
electrophysiology. The 2-stage task involved punctate visual ...
Brain circuits for the internal monitoring of movements.
(Annu Rev Neurosci, 2008)
Each movement we make activates our own sensory receptors, thus causing a problem
for the brain: the spurious, movement-related sensations must be discriminated from
the sensory inputs that really matter, those representing ...
Corollary discharge circuits in the primate brain.
(Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2008-12)
Movements are necessary to engage the world, but every movement results in sensorimotor
ambiguity. Self-movements cause changes to sensory inflow as well as changes in the
positions of objects relative to motor effectors ...
