    Description

    Sensory input arrives from thalamus in cortical layer (L) 4 and L4 to L2 constitutes one of the earliest cortical feedforward networks. However, the transformation performed by this network remains unknown. This study used two-photon calcium imaging to record neural activity in L2 to L4 of primary vibrissal somatosensory cortex (vS1) as mice perform an object localization task with two whiskers. To...

    Description

    Oxytocin is a neuropeptide released in the central nervous system, which is involved in a wide range of behaviors including reproduction, parental care, and pair bonding. In addition, peripheral oxytocin is important for milk ejection during nursing and uterine contractions during labor. Oxytocin is produced mainly in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This...
