Associative pairing involving monocular stimulation selectively mobilizes a subclass of GABAergic interneurons in the mouse visual cortex.

18 Oct 2009 Levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its synthesizing enzyme in cerebral cortex are regulated by sensory experience. Previously we found that associative pairing of vibrissae stimulation and tail shock results in upregulation of GABAergic ... Read more...

Driving under low-contrast visibility conditions in Parkinson disease.

4 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To assess driving performance in Parkinson disease (PD) under low-contrast visibility conditions. METHODS: Licensed, active drivers with mild to moderate PD (n = 67, aged 66.2 +/- 9.0 years, median Hoehn-Yahr stage = 2) and controls (n = ... Read more...

Learning sculpts the spontaneous activity of the resting human brain.

3 Oct 2009 The brain is not a passive sensory-motor analyzer driven by environmental stimuli, but actively maintains ongoing representations that may be involved in the coding of expected sensory stimuli, prospective motor responses, and prior experience. ... Read more...
