[PDF][PDF] A non-canonical feedback circuit for rapid interactions between somatosensory cortices

G Minamisawa, SE Kwon, M Chevée, SP Brown… - Cell reports, 2018 - cell.com
Sensory perception depends on interactions among cortical areas. These interactions are
mediated by canonical patterns of connectivity in which higher areas send feedback …

[HTML][HTML] Neocortical rebound depolarization enhances visual perception

K Funayama, G Minamisawa, N Matsumoto, H Ban… - PLoS …, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Animals are constantly exposed to the time-varying visual world. Because visual perception
is modulated by immediately prior visual experience, visual cortical neurons may register …

Sensory and decision-related activity propagate in a cortical feedback loop during touch perception

SE Kwon, H Yang, G Minamisawa, DH O'Connor - Nature neuroscience, 2016 - nature.com
The brain transforms physical sensory stimuli into meaningful perceptions. In animals making
choices about sensory stimuli, neuronal activity in successive cortical stages reflects a …

Interpyramid spike transmission stabilizes the sparseness of recurrent network activity

…, N Honma, K Tao, N Takahashi, G Minamisawa… - Cerebral …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Cortical synaptic strengths vary substantially from synapse to synapse and exhibit a skewed
distribution with a small fraction of synapses generating extremely large depolarizations. …

Flashing lights induce prolonged distortions in visual cortical responses and visual perception

G Minamisawa, K Funayama, N Matsumoto, N Matsuki… - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
The primary sensory neocortex generates an internal representation of the environment,
and its circuit reorganization is thought to lead to a modification of sensory perception. This …

Reverse optical trawling for synaptic connections in situ

T Sasaki, G Minamisawa… - Journal of …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
We introduce a new method to unveil the network connectivity among dozens of neurons in
brain slice preparations. While synaptic inputs were whole cell recorded from given …

[HTML][HTML] Intact internal dynamics of the neocortex in acutely paralyzed mice

G Minamisawa, K Funayama, N Matsuki… - The Journal of …, 2011 - Springer
Animals collect sensory information through self-generated movements. Muscle movements
drive active feedback of sensory information and determine large parts of the sensory inputs …

Laterality of neocortical slow-wave oscillations in anesthetized mice

G Minamisawa, N Takahashi, N Matsuki… - Neuroscience research, 2009 - Elsevier
In the slow-wave (SW) state, the vast majority of cortical neurons exhibit mostly synchronized
oscillatory activity. In this study, we examined the right–left hemispheric difference in slow-…

[HTML][HTML] Impairment of excitation-contraction coupling in right ventricular hypertrophied muscle with fibrosis induced by pulmonary artery banding

…, Y Fujimoto, T Akaike, T Inoue, S Minamisawa - PLoS …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Interstitial myocardial fibrosis is one of the factors responsible for dysfunction of the heart.
However, how interstitial fibrosis affects cardiac function and excitation-contraction coupling (…
