ATP7A and ATP7B copper transporters have distinctfunctions in the regulation of neuronaldopamine-β-hydroxylase

The copper (Cu) transporters ATPase copper-transporting alpha (ATP7A) and ATPase copper-transporting beta (ATP7B) are essential for the normal function of the mammalian central nervous system. Inactivation of ATP7A or ATP7B causes the severe …

Behavioral and electrophysiological effects of cortical microstimulation parameters

Electrical microstimulation has been widely used to artificially activate neural circuits on fast time scales. Despite the ubiquity of its use, little is known about precisely how it activates neural pathways. Current is typically delivered to neural …

Detection of tactile inputs in the rat vibrissa pathway

The rapid detection of sensory inputs is crucial for survival. Sensory detection explicitly requires the integration of incoming sensory information and the ability to distinguish between relevant information and ongoing neural activity. In this …
