Excitatory local connections of superficial neurons in rat auditory cortex.

27 Oct 2008 The mammalian cerebral cortex consists of multiple areas specialized for processing information for many different sensory modalities. Although the basic structure is similar for each cortical area, specialized neural connections likely mediate ... Read more...

Thalamic connections of architectonic subdivisions of temporal cortex in grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis).

29 Sep 2008 The temporal cortex of grey squirrels contains three architectonically distinct regions. One of these regions, the temporal anterior (Ta) region has been identified in previous physiological and anatomical studies as containing several areas that ... Read more...

Facilitatory mechanisms underlying selectivity for the direction and rate of frequency modulated sweeps in the auditory cortex.

22 Sep 2008 Neurons selective for frequency modulated (FM) sweeps are common in auditory systems across different vertebrate groups and may underlie representation of species-specific vocalizations. Studies on mechanisms of FM sweep selectivity have primarily ... Read more...
