We recorded basolateral amygdala (BL) neurons in a seminaturalistic foraging task. Rats had to leave their nest retrieve food an elongated arena inhabited by mechanical predator. There were marked trial-to-trial variations behavior. After poking head into the and waiting there for while, rats either retreated or initiated foraging. Before initiating foraging, waited longer on trials that followed failed than successful indicating prior experience influenced Upon initiation, most principal...
Motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interface systems (BCIs) normally use a powerful spatial filtering and classification method to maximize their performance. The common pattern (CSP) algorithm is widely used for MI-based BCIs. In this work, we propose new sparse representation-based (SRC) scheme BCI applications. Sensorimotor rhythms are extracted from electroencephalograms classification. proposed SRC utilizes the frequency band power CSP extract features We analyzed performance of...
Gap junctions (GJs) electrically couple GABAergic neurons of the forebrain. The spatial organization neuron clusters coupled by GJs is an important determinant network function, yet it poorly described for nearly all mammalian brain regions. Here we used a novel dye-coupling technique to show that in thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) mice and rats form two types GJ-coupled with distinctive patterns axonal projections. Most are elongated narrowly along functional modules within plane TRN,...
Principal basolateral amygdala (BL) neurons profoundly influence motivated behaviors, yet few of them are activated by emotionally valenced stimuli. Here, we show that a likely explanation for this paradox is the synchronizing high-gamma rhythm. High-gamma (75–95 Hz) entrained BL firing more strongly than all other rhythms. It was most pronounced during states increased vigilance, when rats were apprehensive. Relative to behavioral states, produced minor changes in rates dramatic increases...
The prefrontal cortex is involved in goal-directed behavior. Here, we investigate circuits of the PFC regulating motivation, reinforcement, and its relationship to dopamine neuron activity. Stimulation medial (mPFC) neurons mice activated many downstream regions, as shown by fMRI. Axonal terminal stimulation mPFC including anteromedial thalamic nucleus (AM), reinforced behavior midbrain dopaminergic neurons. AM projecting also neurons, showed a positive-feedback loop organization. We found...
A portable hybrid brain monitoring system is proposed to perform simultaneous 16-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and 8-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measurements.

Abstract In the lateral amygdala (LA), training-induced increases in neuronal responsiveness to conditioned stimuli (CSs) reflect potentiated sensory responses that drive behaviours (CRs) via LA’s targets. The basolateral nucleus of (BL) receives LA inputs and projects various subcortical sites can aversive appetitive CRs. Consistent with this, BL neurons also develop increased CSs predict rewarding or outcomes. This activity is thought neurons. Here we contrast CS-related when rats produced...
This paper presents a new efficient method for implementing the Hilbert transform using an all-pass filter, based on fractional derivatives (FDs) and swarm optimization. In proposed method, squared error difference between desired designed responses of filter is minimized. FDs are introduced to achieve higher accuracy at reference frequency ( ω0 ), which helps reduce overall phase error. this paper, two approaches used finding appropriate values frequencies. first approach, these estimated...
Dry contact electrode-based EEG acquisition is one of the easiest ways to obtain neural information from human brain, providing many advantages such as rapid installation, and enhanced wearability.
