Robust Encoding of Stimulus–Response Mapping by Neurons in Visual Cortex

Robust Encoding of Stimulus-Response Mapping by Neurons in Visual Cortex Academic Background In the field of neuroscience, the visual cortex is considered a core area for processing visual information. The traditional view holds that neurons in the visual cortex primarily encode perceptual-related information, such as the location, shape, and color...

The Developmental Emergence of Reliable Cortical Representations

The Formation of Reliable Representations in Visual Cortex Development Academic Background The development of the visual cortex is a significant area of research in neuroscience. In early development, the network structure of the visual cortex has already formed, but how these networks respond to the onset of visual experience and ultimately form m...

Gamma Oscillations of Visual Cortex Underlying Emotion and Cognition Deficits Associated with Suicide Attempt in Major Depressive Disorder

Research on Gamma Oscillations Related to Suicidal Behavior in Patients with Depression Introduction Suicide is one of the most severe human behaviors globally, particularly prevalent among patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Studies have shown that nearly half of those who die by suicide had been diagnosed with MDD. Despite its signific...

Neurophysiological Study of Orientation Discrimination in a Working Memory Task

Neurophysiological Study: Neurophysiological Research on Orientation Discrimination in a Working Memory Task Background Recognizing and remembering the spatial orientation of the environment is a crucial component of visuospatial behavior. Accurately storing and recalling this information helps us navigate in space and respond adaptively to rapid c...

Neuronal Functional Connectivity is Impaired in a Layer-dependent Manner Near Chronically Implanted Intracortical Microelectrodes in C57BL/6 Wildtype Mice

Layer-Dependent Effects of Chronic Neural Electrode Implants on Neural Functional Connectivity in Mice Introduction This study explores the long-term effects of chronically implanted microelectrodes on neural functional connectivity within the brains of C57BL6 wild-type mice. Implanted intracerebral electrodes enable the recording and electrical st...
