Neural Circuits for Goal-Directed Sensorimotor Transformations

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Seung-Hee Lee

Precisely wired neuronal circuits process sensory information in a learning- and context-dependent manner in order to govern behavior. Simple sensory decision-making tasks in rodents are now beginning to reveal the contributions of distinct cell types and ...

The Cortical States of Wakefulness

Sylvain Crochet, James Poulet

Cortical neurons process information on a background of spontaneous, ongoing activity with distinct spatiotemporal profiles defining different cortical states. During wakefulness, cortical states alter constantly in relation to behavioral context, attentio ...

2019

Although low-frequency (LF < 10 Hz) activities have been considered as a hallmark of nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, several studies have recently reported LF activities in the membrane potential of cortical neurons from different areas in awake mice. ...

Frontal cortex plays a central role in the control of voluntary movements, which are typically guided by sensory input. Here, we investigate the function of mouse whisker primary motor cortex (wM1), a frontal region defined by dense innervation from whiske ...

Cell-Type-Specific Sensorimotor Processing in Striatal Projection Neurons during Goal-Directed Behavior

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Tanya C Sippy, Damien Lapray

Goal-directed sensorimotor transformation drives important aspects of mammalian behavior. The striatum is thought to play a key role in reward-based learning and action selection, receiving glutamatergic sensorimotor signals and dopaminergic reward signals ...

Cortical Sensorimotor Reverberations

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet

In this issue of Neuron, Manita et al. (2015) report that reciprocal excitatory interactions between higher-order frontal motor cortex and primary sensorimotor cortex might play a key role in hindlimb sensory perception in mice. In this issue of Neuron, Ma ...

Cholinergic Signals in Mouse Barrel Cortex during Active Whisker Sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer, Emmanuel Albert Eggermann

Internal brain states affect sensory perception, cognition, and learning. Many neocortical areas exhibit changes in the pattern and synchrony of neuronal activity during quiet versus active behaviors. Active behaviors are typically associated with desynchr ...

Synaptic Computation and Sensory Processing in Neocortical Layer 2/3

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet

Computations in neocortical circuits are predominantly driven by synaptic integration of excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic inputs. New optical, electrophysiological, and genetic methods allow detailed in vivo investigation of the superficia ...

Thalamic control of cortical states

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, James Poulet

We investigated the impact of thalamus on ongoing cortical activity in the awake, behaving mouse. We demonstrate that the desynchronized cortical state during active behavior is driven by a centrally generated increase in thalamic action potential firing, ...

Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Sparse Coding of Active Touch

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer, James Poulet

Sensory information is actively gathered by animals, but the synaptic mechanisms driving neuronal circuit function during active sensory processing are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the synaptically driven membrane potential dynamics during acti ...
