During fMRI, a mechanic device was used to move the subject’s index and middle fingers. We assessed four movement condit...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/010.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Adoptive transfer experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (AT-EAE) is an inflammatory demyelination that recapitulates in mouse spinal cord (SC) the human multiple sclerosis disease. We now analyze previously reported cDNA array data from age-matc...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/011.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Both dorsal and ventral striatum are implicated in the "habitization" of behavior that occurs in addiction. Here we examined the effect of cocaine exposure on associative encoding in these two regions. Neural activity was recorded during go/no-go di...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/012.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Sensory discrimination requires distributed arrays of processing units. In the olfactory bulb, the processing units for odor discrimination are believed to involve dendrodendritic synaptic interactions between mitral and granule cells. There is incre...Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/001.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Viral vectors injected into the mouse brain offer the possibility for localized genetic modifications in a highly controlled manner. Lentivector injection into mouse neocortex transduces cells within a diameter of approximately 200μm, which cl...Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/003.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Thalamocortical communication is a dynamic process influenced by both presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms. In this study, we recorded single-unit responses from cortical neurons that received direct input from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)...Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/004.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The brain has evolved the ability to integrate information across the senses in order to improve the detection and disambiguation of biologically significant events. This multisensory synthesis of information leads to faster (and more accurate) behav...Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/008.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: In the absence of external stimuli, animals explore the environment by performing irregular movements, but the neuronal mechanisms underlying this arrhythmic motion are largely unknown. In this paper we studied the relationship between the spontaneou...Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/009.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: In four experiments we assessed the effect of systemic amphetamine on the ability of a stimulus paired with reward and a stimulus that was not paired with reward to support instrumental conditioning; i.e., we trained rats to press two levers, one fo...Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/002.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Conditioned reinforcers are Pavlovian cues that support the acquisition and maintenance of new instrumental responses. Responding on the basis of conditioned rather than primary reinforcers is a pervasive part of modern life, yet we have a remarkably...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/integrativeneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.07/006.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Extended training can induce a shift in behavioral control from goal-directed actions, which are governed by action-outcome contingencies and sensitive to change in the expected value of the outcome, to habits which are less dependent on action-outco...Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000
