The striatum is the key site for cortical input to the basal ganglia. Cortical input to striatal
microcircuits has been previously studied only in the context of one or two types of neurons. Here…

The corticostriatal axis is the main input stage of the basal ganglia and is crucial for their
role in motor behavior. Synchronized oscillations might mediate interactions between cortex …

General anesthesia is not a uniform state of the brain. Ongoing activity differs between light
and deep anesthesia and cortical response properties are modulated in dependence of …

Throughout each day, the brain displays transient changes in state, as evidenced by shifts in
behavior and vigilance. While the electrophysiological correlates of brain states have been …

Background During long dives, the brain of whales and seals experiences a reduced supply
of oxygen (hypoxia). The brain neurons of the hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) are more …

Synchronous spiking of multiple neurons is a key phenomenon in normal brain function and
pathologies. Recently, approaches to record spikes from the intact cortical surface using …

The present paper describes the results of electrophysiological mapping experiments focused
on the anterior limb of the ectosylvian gyrus of the ferret (Mustela putorius). The aim was …

The brown ghost, Apteronotus leptorhynchus, produces electric organ discharges (EODs)
distinguished by their high degree of regularity. Transient modulations of these discharges …

During the last two decades ferrets (Mustela putorius) have been established as a highly
efficient animal model in different fields in neuroscience. Here we asked whether ferrets …

The nuclear organization of the cholinergic, catecholaminergic, serotonergic and orexinergic
neurons in the brains of two species of carnivore, the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) …
