• Hyperthermia-Induced Changes in EEG of Anesthetized Mice Subjected to Passive Heat Exposure 

      Labra, Carmen de; Pardo-Vázquez, José L.; Cudeiro, Javier; Rivadulla, Casto (Frontiers, 2021-09-09)
      [Abstract] Currently, the role of hypothermia in electroencephalography (EEG) is well-established. However, few studies have investigated the effect of hyperthermia on EEG, an important physiological parameter governing ...
    • Ratphones: an affordable tool for highly controlled sound presentation in freely moving rats 

      Valente, Mafalda; Castiñeiras-de Saa, Juan R.; Renart, Alfonso; Pardo-Vázquez, José L. (Society for Neuroscience, 2023-05-25)
      [Abstract] Encoding and processing sensory information is key to understanding the environment and to guiding behavior accordingly. Characterizing the behavioral and neural correlates of these processes requires the ...
    • State-dependent geometry of population activity in rat auditory cortex 

      Kobak, Dmitry; Pardo-Vázquez, José L.; Valente, Mafalda; Machens, Christian K.; Renart, Alfonso (eLife Sciences, 2019-04-10)
      [Abstract] The accuracy of the neural code depends on the relative embedding of signal and noise in the activity of neural populations. Despite a wealth of theoretical work on population codes, there are few empirical ...
    • The cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 regulates central and peripheral clockwork and the circadian oscillations of body temperature 

      Reimúndez, Alfonso; Fernández-Peña, Carlos; Ordás, Purificación; Hernández-Ortego, Pablo; Gallego, Rosalía; Morenilla-Palao, Cruz; Navarro, Juan; Martín-Cora, Francisco; Pardo-Vázquez, José L.; Schwartz, Lindsay A.; Arce, Víctor; Viana, Félix; Señarís, Rosa (Wiley, 2022-10-17)
      [Abstract] Aim: Physiological functions in mammals show circadian oscillations, synchronized by daily cycles of light and temperature. Central and peripheral clocks participate in this regulation. Since the ion channel ...
    • The mechanistic foundation of Weber’s law 

      Pardo-Vázquez, José L.; Castiñeiras-de Saa, Juan R.; Valente, Mafalda; Damiao, Iris; Costa, Tiago; Vicente, M. Inés; Mendonça, André G.; Mainen, Zachary F.; Renart, Alfonso (Nature, 2019-08-12)
      [Abstract] Although Weber's law is the most firmly established regularity in sensation, no principled way has been identified to choose between its many proposed explanations. We investigated Weber's law by training rats ...
    • Transcranial static magnetic stimulation reduces seizures in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome 

      Rivadulla, Casto; Pardo-Vázquez, José L.; Labra, Carmen de; Aguilar Fernández, Jaime; Suárez Porto, Eduardo; Paz, C.; Álvarez-Dolado, Manuel; Cudeiro, Javier (Elsevier, 2023-10-24)
      [Abstract] Dravet syndrome is a rare form of severe genetic epilepsy characterized by recurrent and long-lasting seizures. It appears around the first year of life, with a quick evolution toward an increase in the frequency ...
