Acetylcholine signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex mediates the ability to learn an active avoidance response following learned helplessness training

Posted by klaurent Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Marina Picciotto | Authors: Zuhair I Abdulla, Yann S Mineur, Richard B Crouse, Ian M Etherington, Hanna Yousuf, Jessica J Na and Marina R Picciotto | Summary: Increased brain levels of acetylcholine (ACh) are observed in subsets of patients with depression and increasing ACh levels chronically can precipitate stress-related behaviors in humans and […]

Perisaccadic and Attentional Remapping of Receptive Fields in Lateral Intraparietal Area and Frontal Eye Fields

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Xiao Wang, Cong Zhang, Lin Yang, Min Jin, Michael E Goldberg, Mingsha Zhang and Ning Qian | Summary: The nature and function of perisaccadic receptive-field (RF) remapping have been controversial. We used a delayed saccade task to reduce previous confounds and examined the remapping time course in areas LIP […]

Automatic monitoring of whole-body neural activity in behaving Hydra

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Yuste | Authors: Alison Hanson, Raphael Reme, Noah Telerman, Wataru Yamamoto, Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin, Thibault Lagache and Rafael Yuste | Summary: The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy grails of neuroscience. Here, we report coming one step closer towards this goal with […]

Predicting Long and Short Duration Beta Bursts from Subthalamic Nucleus Local Field Potential Activity in Parkinson’s Disease

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Bahman Abdi-Sargezeh, Sepehr Shirani, Abhinav Sharma, Philip Starr, Simon Little and Ashwini Oswal | Summary: Neural activities within the beta frequency range (13-30 Hz) are not stationary, but occur in transient packets known as beta bursts. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the occurrence of beta bursts of increased […]
