A Thalamic Hub-and-Spoke Network Enables Visual Perception During Action by Coordinating Visuomotor Dynamics

Neural Mechanisms of Visual Perception and Motor Coordination Academic Background In daily life, animals need to distinguish sensory experiences caused by the external environment from those elicited by their own movements. This distinction is crucial for accurate perception and motor control. However, the diversity of behaviors and their complex i...

Retrieval of Conditioned Immune Response in Male Mice is Mediated by an Anterior–Posterior Insula Circuit

Retrieval of Conditioned Immune Response in Mice is Mediated by an Anterior-Posterior Insular Circuit Academic Background The bidirectional relationship between the brain and the immune system is a cornerstone of philosophical and scientific research. In recent years, researchers have identified multiple pathways through which the immune system inf...

The Developmental Emergence of Reliable Cortical Representations

The Formation of Reliable Representations in Visual Cortex Development Academic Background The development of the visual cortex is a significant area of research in neuroscience. In early development, the network structure of the visual cortex has already formed, but how these networks respond to the onset of visual experience and ultimately form m...

Propagation of Neuronal Micronuclei Regulates Microglial Characteristics

Study on the Propagation of Neuronal Micronuclei Regulating Microglial Characteristics Academic Background Microglia, the resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis, regulating neuronal development, synaptic pruning, and responding to pathological states. However, despite extensiv...

Dynamical Constraints on Neural Population Activity

Temporal Dynamics Constraints on Neural Population Activity: Computational Mechanisms of Neural Activity Revealed by Brain-Computer Interfaces Academic Background How neural activity in the brain evolves over time is a central issue in understanding sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. For a long time, network models have posited that the brain...
