Although the timing of single spikes is known to code for time-varying features of a sensory
stimulus, it remains unclear whether time is also exploited in the neuronal coding of the …

Information Theory enables the quantification of how much information a neuronal response
carries about external stimuli and is hence a natural analytic framework for studying neural …

This study explores the nature of population coding in sensory cortex by applying information
theoretic analyses to neuron pairs recorded simultaneously from rat barrel cortex. We …

Neuronal responses to ongoing stimulation in many systems change over time, or “adapt.”
Despite the ubiquity of adaptation, its effects on the stimulus information carried by neurons …

Rats, using their whiskers, have excellent capabilities in texture discrimination. What is the
representation of texture in rat somatosensory cortex? We hypothesize that as rats “whisk” …

Background In bright light, mammals use a distinct photopigment (melanopsin) to measure
irradiance for centrally mediated responses such as circadian entrainment. We aimed to …

The brain’s sensory processing systems are modified during perceptual learning. To learn
more about the spatial organization of learning-related modifications, we trained rats to utilize …

High glucose levels in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have been implicated in the
pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy (DN). However, our understanding of the molecular …

The thalamo-cortical pathway is the crucial sensory gateway into the cerebral cortex. We
aimed to determine the nature of the tactile information encoded by neurons in the whisker …

Members of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and the Association of Trial Lawyers
of America were surveyed concerning current practices in forensic neuropsychology. The …
