In primary sensory neocortical areas of mammals, the distribution of sensory receptors is
mapped with topographic precision and amplification in proportion to the peripheral receptor …

A lifecourse perspective is key for understanding and interpreting racial and ethnic patterns
in neuropsychological test performance. In this article, we discuss contextual factors that …

Sensory maps in neocortex are adaptively altered to reflect recent experience and learning.
In somatosensory cortex, distinct patterns of sensory use or disuse elicit multiple, functionally …

Language acquisition is one of the most fundamental human traits, and it is obviously the
brain that undergoes the developmental changes. During the years of language acquisition …

Although the timing of single spikes is known to code for time-varying features of a sensory
stimulus, it remains unclear whether time is also exploited in the neuronal coding of the …

Using a line-scanning method during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we
obtained high temporal (50-ms) and spatial (50-μm) resolution information along the cortical …

Individual pyramidal neurons of neocortex show sparse and variable responses to sensory
stimuli in vivo. It has remained unclear how this variability extends to population responses …

This study explores the nature of population coding in sensory cortex by applying
information theoretic analyses to neuron pairs recorded simultaneously from rat barrel …

We derive a new method to quantify the impact of correlated firing on the information
transmitted by neuronal populations. This new method considers, in an exact way, the …

A major portion of the primary somatosensory cortex of rodents is characterized by the
discrete and patterned distribution of thalamocortical axons and layer IV granule cells …
