Operant conditioning of cortical unit activity

EE Fetz - Science, 1969 - science.org
The activity of single neurons in precentral cortex of unanesthetized monkeys (Macaca
mulatta) was conditioned by reinforcing high rates of neuronal discharge with delivery of a food …

Coherent 25-to 35-Hz oscillations in the sensorimotor cortex of awake behaving monkeys.

VN Murthy, EE Fetz - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 1992 - National Acad Sciences
Synchronous 25- to 35-Hz oscillations were observed in local field potentials and unit activity
in sensorimotor cortex of awake rhesus monkeys. The oscillatory episodes occurred often …

Harnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications

…, LG Cohen, C Decharms, CJ Duffy, GF Eden, EE Fetz… - Brain, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in the …

Operant conditioning of specific patterns of neural and muscular activity

EE Fetz, DV Finocchio - Science, 1971 - science.org
In awake monkeys we recorded activity of single "motor" cortex cells, four contralateral arm
muscles, and elbow position, while operantly reinforcing several patterns of motor activity. …

Functional classes of primate corticomotoneuronal cells and their relation to active force

PD Cheney, EE Fetz - Journal of neurophysiology, 1980 - journals.physiology.org
The function of motor cortex cells in movements has been investigated by documenting such
properties as their firing patterns during specific limb movements (3, 7, 10, 11, 14, 16, 24, 27…

Direct control of paralysed muscles by cortical neurons

CT Moritz, SI Perlmutter, EE Fetz - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
A potential treatment for paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury is to route control signals
from the brain around the injury by artificial connections. Such signals could then control …

Long-term motor cortex plasticity induced by an electronic neural implant

A Jackson, J Mavoori, EE Fetz - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
It has been proposed that the efficacy of neuronal connections is strengthened when there is
a persistent causal relationship between presynaptic and postsynaptic activity. Such activity-…

[PDF][PDF] Spike-timing-dependent plasticity in primate corticospinal connections induced during free behavior

Y Nishimura, SI Perlmutter, RW Eaton, EE Fetz - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
Motor learning and functional recovery from brain damage involve changes in the strength
of synaptic connections between neurons. Relevant in vivo evidence on the underlying …

Postspike facilitation of forelimb muscle activity by primate corticomotoneuronal cells

EE Fetz, PD Cheney - Journal of neurophysiology, 1980 - journals.physiology.org
8. The strength, latency, and time course of most PSF suggest they are mediated by
monosynaptic corticomotoneuronal(CM) connections, although a contribution through indirect …

Oscillatory activity in sensorimotor cortex of awake monkeys: synchronization of local field potentials and relation to behavior

VN Murthy, EE Fetz - Journal of neurophysiology, 1996 - journals.physiology.org
1. Oscillations of 20-40 Hz were observed in local field potentials (LFPs) and unit activity in
sensorimotor cortices of three awake monkeys while the monkeys performed trained wrist …
