DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.10.032
Abstract: Understanding how cortical activity generates sensory perceptions requires a detailed dissection of the function of cortical layers. Despite our relatively extensive knowledge of their anatomy and wiring, we have a limited grasp of what each… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2017.03.004
Abstract: Early sensory cortex is typically investigated in response to sensory stimulation, masking the contribution of internal signals. Recently, van Kerkoerle and colleagues reported that attention and memory signals segregate from sensory signals within specific layers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2704-z
Abstract: Adaptive behaviour crucially depends on flexible decision-making, which in mammals relies on the frontal cortex, specifically the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)1-9. How OFC encodes decision variables and instructs sensory areas to guide adaptive behaviour are key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-29751-6
Abstract: Neuroimaging-derived markers are used to model post-stroke impairment. Among these, lesion size, corticospinal-tract lesion-load (CST-LL) and resting-state functional-connectivity (rs-FC) have been correlated with impairment. It has been shown that the sensory cortex (S1) is associated… read more here.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)-induced layer-specific modulation of evoked responses in the sensory cortex of rats

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65745-z
Abstract: Neuromodulation achieved by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) induces various neuropsychiatric effects whose underlying mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Innervation of neuromodulators and a microcircuit structure in the cerebral cortex informed the hypothesis that VNS… read more here.

Microstimulation of sensory cortex engages natural sensory representations

DOI: 10.1101/2022.11.09.515803
Abstract: Cortical activity patterns occupy a small subset of possible network states. If this is due to intrinsic network properties, microstimulation of cortex should evoke activity patterns resembling those observed during natural sensory input. Here, we… read more here.

Thalamic reticular control of local sleep in mouse sensory cortex

DOI: 10.7554/elife.39111
Abstract: Sleep affects brain activity globally, but many cortical sleep waves are spatially confined. Local rhythms serve cortical area-specific sleep needs and functions; however, mechanisms controlling locality are unclear. We identify the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN)… read more here.
