Abstract: Recent advances in fMRI have enabled non-invasive measurements of brain function in awake, behaving humans at unprecedented spatial resolutions, allowing us to separate activity in distinct cortical layers. While most layer fMRI studies to date… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhab138
Abstract: Hemianopia induced by unilateral visual cortex lesions can be resolved by repeatedly exposing the blinded hemifield to auditory-visual stimuli. This rehabilitative "training" paradigm depends on mechanisms of multisensory plasticity that restore the lost visual responsiveness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0188087
Abstract: Knockout of the mitochondrial complex I protein, NDUFS4, profoundly increases sensitivity of mice to volatile anesthetics. In mice carrying an Ndufs4lox/lox gene, adeno-associated virus expressing Cre recombinase was injected into regions of the brain postulated… read more here.
