Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...
Optical imaging is a powerful technique to map brain function in animals. In this study, we consider in vivo optical imaging of the murine olfactory bulb, using an intrinsic Signal and a genetically expressed activity reporter fluorescent protein (synaptop ...

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...
Stroke is the leading cause of long term disability, causing both motor and cognitive impairments. Stroke impacts both motor and somatosensory capabilities of the individual, causing distorted perception of the environment and of the body. Consequently per ...
To sense myriad environmental odors, animals have evolved multiple, large families of divergent olfactory receptors. How and why distinct receptor repertoires and their associated circuits are functionally and anatomically integrated is essentially unknown ...
Although understanding of the olfactory system has progressed at the level of downstream receptor signaling and the wiring of olfactory neurons, the system remains poorly understood at the molecular level of the receptors and their interaction with and rec ...
Olfaction and the olfactory pathway is a good system to study sensory processing in general, mainly because of the simplified organization of the cells constituting the olfactory bulb, the anatomical structure responsible for early odor encoding and proces ...
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a primary tauopathy affecting both neurons and glia and is responsible for both motor and cognitive symptoms. Recently, it has been suggested that progressive supranuclear palsy tauopathy may spread in the brain from cell ...
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that allows a user to communicate with the environment only through cerebral activity, without using muscular output channels. To establish a direct link between the brain and a computer, the electroencephalogra ...
The animal olfactory system represents the gold standard of biosensors, due to its ability to identify and discriminate thousands of odorant compounds with very low thresholds. Using olfactory receptors (ORs) as sensing elements instead of chemical sensors ...
