… between a wide range of internal states that influence how sensory information is processed and how behaviors are … C. elegans worm. Though simple (the worms only have 302 neurons), the model has proven to produce important insights …

… 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 …

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

… 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 …

… key proteins called NMDA receptors act specifically in neurons in layer 4 of the visual cortex to make the circuit … the evidence demonstrates that NMDA receptors in layer 4 neurons are indeed necessary for the degradation of vision in … circuits modified to enhance cortical responses to sensory inputs during deprivation or to stimuli that have …
