Learning-Dependent Shift from Right to Left CA3 Input Dominance Shapes the Evolution of Right CA1 Spatial Maps

Anqi Jiang, Douglas GoodSmith, Julliana Ramirez-Matias, Ariana F. Tortolani, Mark E. J. Sheffield

The paper shows that right CA3 inputs drive early spatial map refinement in CA1R, while left CA3 inputs ensure stability later, with a shift in dominance during learning.

How different immersive environments affect intracortical brain computer interfaces

Ariana F. Tortolani, Nicolas G. Kunigk, Anton R. Sobinov, Michael L. Boninger, Sliman J. Bensmaı̈a, Jennifer L. Collinger, Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos, John E. Downey

This study examines how immersive environments affect BCI performance, finding that prior experience with an environment is more important than its immersiveness for decoder performance and generalization.

Microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex evokes task-dependent, spatially patterned responses in motor cortex

Natalya D. Shelchkova, John E. Downey, Charles M. Greenspon, Elizaveta V. Okorokova, Anton R. Sobinov, Ceci Verbaarschot, Qinpu He, Caleb Sponheim, Ariana F. Tortolani, Dalton D. Moore, Matthew Tyler Kaufman, Ray C. Lee, David I. Satzer, Jorge Alvaro Gonzalez-Martinez, Peter C. Warnke, , Sliman J. Bensmaı̈a

This study investigates how microstimulation of somatosensory cortex affects motor cortex activity in paralyzed individuals, finding task-dependent spatial patterns and showing that biomimetic stimulation improves control of a virtual hand.
