Cortical sensory processing across motivational states during goal-directed behavior

Carl Petersen, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Georgios Foustoukos, Sami El-Boustani, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer, Maëlle Guyoton

Behavioral states can influence performance of goal-directed sensorimotor tasks. Yet, it is unclear how altered neuronal sensory representations in these states relate to task performance and learning. We trained water-restricted mice in a two-whisker disc ...

Distinct Contributions of Whisker Sensory Cortex and Tongue-Jaw Motor Cortex in a Goal-Directed Sensorimotor Transformation

Carl Petersen, Georgios Foustoukos, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Sami El-Boustani, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer, Keita Tamura

The neural circuits underlying goal-directed sensorimotor transformations in the mammalian brain are incompletely understood. Here, we compared the role of primary tongue-jaw motor cortex (tjM1) and primary whisker sensory cortex (wS1) in head-restrained m ...

Optical sensory and motor mapping of mouse dorsal cortex

Matthieu Pierre Auffret

Throughout species, including mice and humans, we all have to make decisions to fulfill our fundamentals needs: eat, drink, explore, communicate, reproduce... To make those decisions, we have to collect informations from the surrounding world and to proces ...

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging of mouse neocortex during a whisker detection task

Carl Petersen, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Alexandros Kyriakatos, Vijay Sadashivaiah, Yifei Zhang, Alessandro Motta

Sensorimotor processing occurs in a highly distributed manner in the mammalian neocortex. The spatiotemporal dynamics of electrical activity in the dorsal mouse neocortex can be imaged using voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) with near-millisecond temporal reso ...
