Cortical modulation of dorsal column nuclei: a computational study
(Springer, 2006-04-22)
[Abstract] We present a computational study aimed at exploring the sensorimotor cortex modulation of the behaviour of dorsal column nuclei, specifically the impact of synaptic parameters, during both sleep and waking ...
Modulatory effects mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells
(Wiley, 2005-01-18)
[Abstract] Glutamate is thought to be the excitatory neurotransmitter in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the cat, mediating visual transmission from the retina via ionotropic receptors of both d,l-α-amino-3-hydro ...
Changes in Visual Responses in the Feline dLGN: Selective Thalamic Suppression Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of V1
(Oxford University Press, 2006-08-14)
[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cortex can modify activity noninvasively and produce either excitatory or inhibitory effects, depending on stimulus parameters. Here we demonstrate controlled ...
Tonic and bursting activity in the cuneate nucleus of the chloralose-anesthetized cat
(Elsevier, 1998)
[Abstract] Whole-cell recordings were obtained from cuneate neurons in anesthetized, paralysed cats. Stimulation of the contralateral medial lemniscus permitted us to separate projection cells from presumed interneurons. ...
Lemniscal recurrent and transcortical influences on cuneate neurons
(Elsevier, 2000)
[Abstract] Intracellular recordings were obtained from cuneate neurons of chloralose-anesthetized, paralysed cats to study the synaptic responses induced by electrical stimulation of the contralateral medial lemniscus. ...
Suppression of V1 feedback produces a shift in the topographic representation of receptive fields of LGN cells by unmasking latent retinal drives
(Oxford, 2017-03-18)
[Abstract] In awake monkeys, we used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to focally inactivate visual cortex while measuring the responsiveness of parvocellular lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) neurons. ...
Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the human motor cortex
(Wiley, 2001-08-01)
[Abstract] The aim of the present study was to investigate in healthy humans the possibility of a
non-invasive modulation of motor cortex excitability by the application of static magnetic fields
through the scalp. Static ...
The operating regime of local computations in primary visual cortex
(Oxford University Press, 2009-02-16)
[Abstract] In V1, local circuitry depends on the position in the orientation map: close to pinwheel centers, recurrent inputs show variable orientation preferences; within iso-orientation domains, inputs are relatively ...
Invariant computations in local cortical networks with balanced excitation and inhibition
(Nature, 2005-06-23)
[Abstract] Cortical computations critically involve local neuronal circuits. The computations are often invariant across a cortical area yet are carried out by networks that can vary widely within an area according to its ...
The influence of nitric oxide on perigeniculate GABAergic cell activity in the anaesthetized cat
(Wiley, 1996-12)
[Abstract] We have tested the effect of iontophoretic application of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor l-nitroarginine on the activity of a population of 53 perigeniculate (PGN) cells, recorded extracellularly in the ...
