Abstract: ABSTRACT The Roving Mismatch Negativity (MMN), and Visual LTP paradigms are widely used as independent measures of sensory plasticity. However, the paradigms are built upon fundamentally different (and seemingly opposing) models of perceptual learning; namely,… read more here.

Abstract: Diet profoundly influences brain physiology, but how nutritional information is transmuted into neural activity and behavior changes remains elusive. Here we show that the metabolic enzyme O-GlcNAc Transferase (OGT) moonlights on the chromatin of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14065
Abstract: The social Hymenoptera have contributed much to our understanding of the evolution of sensory systems. Attention has focussed chiefly on how sociality and sensory systems have evolved together. In the Hymenoptera, the antennal sensilla are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0956797617748959
Abstract: Can what we imagine in our minds change how we perceive the world in the future? A continuous process of multisensory integration and recalibration is responsible for maintaining a correspondence between the senses (e.g., vision,… read more here.

Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons Regulate Cortical Sensory Plasticity in Adulthood and Development Through Shared Mechanisms

DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2022.886629
Abstract: Parvalbumin-positive neurons are the largest class of GABAergic, inhibitory neurons in the central nervous system. In the cortex, these fast-spiking cells provide feedforward and feedback synaptic inhibition onto a diverse set of cell types, including… read more here.
