DOI: 10.1007/s12668-016-0370-2
Abstract: Inhibition of serotonin uptake disrupts the development of thalamocortical barrel maps in neonatal rodents. Previous studies, using the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram, have suggested that this may involve a suppression of the early activity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2017.07.034
Abstract: The question of what function is served by the cortical column has occupied neuroscientists since its original description some 60years ago. The answer seems tractable in the somatosensory cortex when considering the inputs to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/mp.2017.159
Abstract: Stress, a prevalent experience in modern society, is a major risk factor for many psychiatric disorders. Although sensorimotor abnormalities are often present in these disorders, little is known about how stress affects the sensory cortex.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10564-8
Abstract: During navigation, rodents continually sample the environment with their whiskers. How locomotion modulates neuronal activity in somatosensory cortex, and how it is integrated with whisker-touch remains unclear. Here, we compared neuronal activity in layer 2/3… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41583-019-0200-y
Abstract: Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents, including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate surroundings. Whiskers are moved back and forth to scan the environment (whisking),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhw280
Abstract: Rodent rhythmic whisking behavior matures during a critical period around 2 weeks after birth. The functional adaptations of neocortical circuitry during this developmental period remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized stimulus-evoked neuronal activity across all… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2022.805178
Abstract: The goal of cortical neuroprosthetics is to imprint sensory information as precisely as possible directly into cortical networks. Sensory processing, however, is dependent on the behavioral context. Therefore, a specific behavioral context may alter stimulation… read more here.
