Motor Control of Distinct Layer 6 Corticothalamic Feedback Circuits

The paper investigates how motor cortex inputs selectively influence distinct corticothalamic subcircuits in the somatosensory cortex, revealing differences in synaptic responses and intrinsic properties based on thalamic projection patterns.

Functional dynamics and selectivity of two parallel corticocortical pathways from motor cortex to layer 5 circuits in somatosensory cortex

The paper investigates two distinct synaptic pathways from motor cortex to layer 5 neurons in somatosensory cortex, showing different short-term dynamics and functional consequences.

State-dependent modulation of activity in distinct layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in barrel cortex of awake mice

The paper investigates the spiking patterns of layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in awake mice during whisking and locomotion, finding diverse response profiles linked to behavioral states.

Short-term facilitation of long-range corticocortical synapses revealed by selective optical stimulation

The paper investigates short-term facilitation in long-range corticocortical synapses using optogenetic methods in mice, finding enhanced excitability and distinct synaptic properties across cell types.
