Long-term modification of cortical synapses improves sensory perception
Synapses and receptive fields of the cerebral cortex are plastic. However, changes to specific
inputs must be coordinated within neural networks to ensure that excitability and feature …

Cortical plasticity, excitatory–inhibitory balance, and sensory perception
I Carcea, RC Froemke - Progress in brain research, 2013 - Elsevier
Experience shapes the central nervous system throughout life. Structural and functional
plasticity confers a remarkable ability on the brain, allowing neural circuits to adequately adapt …

[PDF][PDF] Oxytocin transforms firing mode of CA2 hippocampal neurons
Oxytocin is an important neuromodulator in the mammalian brain that increases information
salience and circuit plasticity, but its signaling mechanisms and circuit effect are not fully …

[HTML][HTML] Locus coeruleus activation accelerates perceptual learning
Neural representations of the external world are constructed and updated in a manner that
depends on behavioral context. For neocortical networks, this contextual information is …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamics of auditory cortical activity during behavioural engagement and auditory perception
Behavioural engagement can enhance sensory perception. However, the neuronal mechanisms
by which behavioural states affect stimulus perception remain poorly understood. Here …

Spike-timing-dependent ensemble encoding by non-classically responsive cortical neurons
10.7554/eLife.42409.001 Neurons recorded in behaving animals often do not discernibly
respond to sensory input and are not overtly task-modulated. These non-classically responsive …

Biological mechanisms for observational learning
I Carcea, RC Froemke - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2019 - Elsevier
Highlights • Many animal species can learn by observing the behavior of a conspecific. •
Recent studies are investigating the neural circuits for observational learning. • Observational …

[HTML][HTML] Spontaneous thought and microstate activity modulation by social imitation
The human mind wanders spontaneously and frequently, revisiting the past and imagining
the future of self and of others. External and internal factors can influence wandering …

Flotillin-mediated endocytic events dictate cell type-specific responses to semaphorin 3A
Cortical efferents growing in the same environment diverge early in development. The
expression of particular transcription factors dictates the trajectories taken, presumably by …
