Feeling the beat: premotor and striatal interactions in musicians and nonmusicians during beat perception.

8 Jun 2009 Little is known about the underlying neurobiology of rhythm and beat perception, despite its universal cultural importance. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study rhythm perception in musicians and nonmusicians. Three conditions ... Read more...

Modulation of cocaine-induced activity by intracerebral administration of CXCL12.

18 Mar 2009 The role of chemokines in immune function is clearly established. Recent evidence suggests that these molecules also play an important role in the central nervous system as modulators of neuronal activity. The chemokine CXCL12 has been identified in ... Read more...

Encoding of conditioned reflex activity in different directions by neurons in the monkey striatum.

19 Feb 2009 Two types of neuron spike activity were detected in the striatum (putamen) of monkeys: patterns with low and high activity. Low-activity patterns were no more than twice the level of baseline activity, while high-activity patterns had larger ... Read more...
