Sensorimotor Theta Oscillations Coordinate Speech Movements

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang and Loren Frank | Authors: Yitzhak Norman, Loren M. Frank and Edward F. Chang | Summary: Fluent speech depends on precisely timed motor commands that coordinate rapid transitions between successive articulatory gestures. Using direct cortical recordings, we identified a prominent sensorimotor theta oscillation (6–10 Hz) that supports this coordination. During articulation, […]

Ingestion-activated CGRP neurons control learning but not satiety

Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight | Authors: Brooke C Jarvie, Anagh Ravi, Rhea Nanavati, Longhui Qui, Truong Ly, Jun Y Oh, Olivia K Barnhill and Zachary A Knight | Summary: Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus are critical for sickness and malaise but have also been proposed to control non-aversive (rewarding) satiation. How […]

A Dual Inhibitory Network in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Delineated by Pallidal and Intra-Reticular Inhibition

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Frances S. Cho, John R. Huguenard and Jeanne T. Paz | Summary: Long described as an inhibitory “guardian of the gateway,” the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) shapes which thalamic signals reach the cortex during attention, arousal, and sensory processing. However, how the inhibitory wiring within TRN supports this flexible […]

Distinct laminar origins of high-gamma and low-frequency ECoG signals revealed by optogenetics

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard | Authors: Pierre-Marie Garderes, Daniel E. Feldman and Kristofer E. Bouchard | Summary: Electrocorticography (ECoG) provides a high-spatiotemporal-resolution measure of cortical activity (cortical surface electrical potentials, CSEPs) in humans and animals. The CSEP high-gamma band (Hγ, 65–170 Hz) correlates with neuronal firing rates at the columnar spatial scale and is widely […]
