[PDF][PDF] A non-canonical feedback circuit for rapid interactions between somatosensory cortices
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
The brain transforms physical sensory stimuli into meaningful perceptions. In animals making
choices about sensory stimuli, neuronal activity in successive cortical stages reflects a …

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-…
