Neurons in primary sensory cortices display selective receptive field plasticity in behavioral situations ranging from classical conditioning to attentional tasks, and it is generally assumed that neuromodulators promote this plasticity....

GABAergic cells of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) can potentially exert strong control over transmission of information through thalamus to the cerebral cortex. Anatomical studies have shown that the reticulo-thalamic...

In the course of a day, the brain undergoes large-scale changes in functional modes, from attentive wakefulness to the deepest stage of sleep. The present paper evaluates how these state...

After fear conditioning to a tone, rats received nonawakening presentations of the tone alone during slow-wave sleep (SWS) episodes. Multiunit activity was recorded in the medial part of the medial...

Short-term paradoxical sleep (PS) deprivation was used to examine the effects of chronic exposure to subtoxic doses of the cholinesterase inhibitor diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) on PS regulation. Rats were injected once...

This study examined whether neurons in the medial division of the medial geniculate (MGm) and the dorsal part of the lateral amygdala (LAd) express learning-induced plasticity in paradoxical sleep (PS)...

Intracerebral muscimol injection is widely used to inactivate discrete brain structures during behavioral tasks. However, little effort has been made to quantify the extent of muscimol diffusion. The authors report...
