This study uses computational models to investigate how local and global network properties shape cortical slow wave activity and propagation.

The paper investigates how callosal inputs contribute to ipsilateral tactile signaling in the barrel cortex, finding that some neurons respond similarly to contralateral and ipsilateral whisker stimulation.

This study shows dopamine enhances bimodal sensory responses in direct pathway MSNs of the dorsomedial striatum through visual response acceleration.

This study investigates the role of cholecystokinin (CCK) and its receptor CCK2R in corticostriatal synaptic transmission and motor behavior, showing that CCK2R is essential for synaptic plasticity and motor function in male rats.

The paper identifies two non-overlapping functional circuits in the mouse dorsal striatum, separated by a sharp boundary, revealing distinct neuronal properties and connectivity patterns.
