Hello, Layers! In this cross-section of prefrontal cortex, layer-defining excitatory neurons (EN) start to move into position within the cortical plate by gestational week 15 (left), when Layers 4 ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

So, Mriganka Sur. Functional imaging of visual cortical layers and subplate in awake mice with optimized three-photon microscopy. Nature Communications , 2019; 10 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-08179 ...

In the brain, not all blood flow is created equal. RIKEN researchers have developed a detailed cortical layer map of the ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Improvements in three-photon microscopy made by scientists at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have allowed scientists to see activity in all layers of the visual cortex and the ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

Cortical Interneurons Show Layer-Specific Activities. Researchers examine the firing patterns of interneurons throughout all layers of the somatosensory cortices of alert mice.
