From Lung to Brain: Respiration Modulates Neural and Mental Activity
Respiration protocols have been developed to manipulate mental states, including their use for therapeutic purposes. In this systematic review, we...

The effects of visual context on visual-vestibular mismatch revealed by electrodermal and postural response measures
BackgroundNo objective criteria exist for diagnosis and treatment of visual-vestibular mismatch (VVM).
ObjectiveTo determine whether measures of...

Changes in pupil size track self-control failure
People are more likely to perform poorly on a self-control task following a previous task requiring self-control (ego-depletion), but the mechanism...
-
Activity map of a cortico-cerebellar loop underlying motor planning
The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown how the two structures organize into functional networks to...
-
The cholinergic basal forebrain provides a parallel channel for state-dependent sensory signaling to auditory cortex
Cholinergic basal forebrain (CBF) signaling exhibits multiple timescales of activity with classic slow signals related to brain and behavioral states...

Magnetic susceptibility changes in the brainstem reflect REM sleep without atonia severity in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder
REM sleep without atonia (RWA) is the hallmark of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and is caused by neurodegeneration of brainstem...

Facial functional networks during resting state revealed by thermal infrared imaging
In recent decades, an increasing number of studies on psychophysiology and, in general, on clinical medicine has employed the technique of facial...

Plastic Changes Induced by Motor Activity in Spinal Cord Injury
Plastic changes in the central nervous system occurring under the influence of motor activity are regarded as the key to the successful restoration...

Biphasic Cholinergic Modulation of Reverberatory Activity in Neuronal Networks
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important neuromodulator in various cognitive functions. However, it is unclear how ACh influences neural circuit dynamics...

Cortical Somatosensory Neurons in WAG/Rij Rats Transform Firing Evoked by Simulation of Posterior Thalamic Nucleus from Tonic to Phasic at Age of 6 Months
Functional peculiarities of paralemniscal subdivision of the thalamocortical system were examined in normal Wistar and in WAG/Rij rats genetically...

Facial expressions of pain: the role of the serotonergic system
RationaleAlthough interest in the neurobiology of facial communication of pain has increased over the last decades, little is known about which...
-
The cerebellum directly modulates the substantia nigra dopaminergic activity
Evidence of direct reciprocal connections between the cerebellum and basal ganglia has challenged the long-held notion that these structures function...

Structure and dynamics that specialize neurons for high-frequency coincidence detection in the barn owl nucleus laminaris
A principal cue for sound source localization is the difference in arrival times of sounds at an animal’s two ears (interaural time difference, ITD)....
-
Decoding cognition from spontaneous neural activity
In human neuroscience, studies of cognition are rarely grounded in non-task-evoked, ‘spontaneous’ neural activity. Indeed, studies of spontaneous...

Ultrastructural Immunocytochemistry of GABAergic Cells in Neocortical Neurotransplants
Neural transplantation is a promising regenerative therapy in the treatment of several neurological diseases. Importantly, transplanted tissue should...

Duration- and sex-dependent neural circuit control of voluntary physical activity
RationaleExercise participation remains low despite clear benefits. Rats engage in voluntary wheel running (VWR) that follows distinct phases of...

Differences in the pupillary responses to evening light between children and adolescents
BackgroundIn the mammalian retina, intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) detect light and integrate signals from rods and cones...

A TAN-dopamine interaction mechanism based computational model of basal ganglia in action selection
The basal ganglia (BG) plays a key role in action selection. Physiological experiments have suggested that the reciprocal interaction between...

Modulation of Neuronal Activity and Saccades at Theta Rhythm During Visual Search in Non-human Primates
Active exploratory behaviors have often been associated with theta oscillations in rodents, while theta oscillations during active exploration in...

Spectral Characteristics of the Resting-State EEG θ and α Rhythms in Groups of Subjects Undertaking Joint Activity with Different Effectiveness in Dyads
The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis of the spectral characteristics of the θ and α rhythms in the background EEG in groups...
