The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

Working memory is the ability to maintain and manipulate information in the conscious mind
over a timescale of seconds. This ability is thought to be maintained through the persistent …

The neuronal mechanisms generating a delayed motor response initiated by a sensory cue
remain elusive. Here, we tracked the precise sequence of cortical activity in mice …

In the neocortex, each sensory modality engages distinct sensory areas that route
information to association areas. Where signal flow converges for maintaining information in …

Decision making frequently depends on monitoring the duration of sensory events. To
determine whether, and how, the perception of elapsed time derives from the neuronal …

Activity of sensory and motor cortices is essential for sensorimotor integration. In particular,
coherence between these areas may indicate binding of critical functions like perception …

Working memory impairment is one of the remarkable cognitive dysfunctions induced by
vascular dementia (VD), and it is necessary to explore an effective treatment. Recently, low …

Since the discovery 50 years ago of the precisely ordered representation of the whiskers in
somatosensory cortex, the rodent tactile sensory system has been a fertile ground for the …

Early life pain (ELP) experience alters adult pain behavior and increases injury-induced
pain hypersensitivity, but the effect of ELP on adult functional brain connectivity is not known …

Working memory (WM) refers to a memory system with limited energy for short-term
maintenance and plays an important role in cognitive functions. At present, research …
