Abstract: Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking. Here, we use… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a major exogenous psychoactive agent, which acts as a partial agonist on cannabinoid (CB1) receptors. THC is known to inhibit presynaptic neurotransmission and has been repeatedly linked to acute decrements… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.1043501
Abstract: The ability to learn motor skills implicates an improvement in accuracy, speed and consistency of movements. Motor control is related to movement execution and involves corticospinal neurons (CSp), which are broadly distributed in layer 5B… read more here.
