… brain. In this study, Tye identified two populations of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, based on other brain regions that they communicate with. One set of neurons sends information to the nucleus accumbens, which is … the “signal” is the meaningful input coming in, such as sensory information. When neurons that connect to the PAG …

… research interest lies in understanding biological sensory computation – and my work strives to investigate the … and aging-related changes within different subtypes of neurons of the vagus nerve, particularly in the context of … recovery, with a focus on cytokine–neural interactions and sensory circuit modulation in neurodevelopmental disorder …

An NA … One type came about from those inputs – for instance from sensory processing circuits – that simultaneously connected …

… of action potentials in widely distributed ensembles of neurons. We are trying to understand how neural … past events and future movements. During motor planning, neurons in motor cortex show persistent activity related to … movements, long before movement onset, in the absence of sensory input. I will present our studies on how …

… and many others, suggesting that that the LC may integrate sensory inputs and internal cognitive states from across the … the pitch is low the LC would send less NE via a cadre of neurons to the motor cortex, reflecting the animal’s belief … Not only will the team be measuring the activity of LC-NE neurons, they’ll also take them over using optogenetics (in …
