A critical period for activity-dependent synaptic development during olfactory bulb adult neurogenesis.

21 Sep 2009 New neurons integrate in large numbers into the mature olfactory bulb circuit throughout life. The factors controlling the synaptic development of adult-born neurons and their connectivity remain essentially unknown. We examined the role of ... Read more...

Reliable and precise neuronal firing during sensory plasticity in superficial layers of primary somatosensory cortex.

21 Sep 2009 Neocortical neurons show astonishing variation in the presence and timing of action potentials across stimulus trials, a phenomenon whose function and significance has been the subject of great interest. Here we present data showing that this ... Read more...

Functional connectivity between the thalamus and visual cortex under eyes closed and eyes open conditions: a resting-state fMRI study.

30 Aug 2009 The thalamus and visual cortex are two key components associated with the alpha power of electroencephalography. However, their functional relationship remains to be elucidated. Here, we employ resting-state functional MRI to investigate the ... Read more...
