A general function of cerebral cortex is to allow the flexible association of sensory stimuli
with specific behaviours. Many neurons in parietal 1 , 2 , prefrontal 3 , 4 and motor 5 , 6 , 7 …

In mammalian neocortex, the orderly arrangement of columns of neurons is thought to be a
fundamental organizing principle. In primary visual cortex (V1), neurons respond …

We recorded from parietal neurons in monkeys (Macacca mulatta) trained to report the
direction of an apparent motion stimulus consisting of regularly spaced columns of dots …

Integration of inputs by cortical neurons provides the basis for the complex information
processing performed in the cerebral cortex. Here, we have examined how primary visual cortical …

For several reasons, the electrospinning of nanofibrous mats comprised purely of biopolymers,
such as hyaluronic acid (HA) has been difficult to achieve. Most notably, due to its …

Despite the ubiquitous use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the extent to
which the magnitude and spatial scale of the fMRI signal correlates with neuronal activity is …

Neurons in primary visual cortex (area 17) respond vigorously to oriented stimuli within their
receptive fields; however, stimuli presented outside the suprathreshold receptive field can …

Feature maps in the cerebral cortex constitute orderly representations of response features
created within the cortex; an example is the mapping of orientation‐selective neurons in …

Pectin, a naturally occurring and biorenewable polysaccharide, is derived from plant cell
wall tissue and used in applications ranging from food processing to biomedical engineering. …

1. We studied the effect of varying excitatory and inhibitory drive on the N-methyl-D-aspartate
(NMDA) receptor-mediated component of the visual responses of neurons in the cat dorsal …
