Defense is a basic survival mechanism when animals face danger. Previous studies have suggested that the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) essential for generation of defensive reactions. Here we showed optogenetic activation neurons in PAG mice was sufficient to induce series responses (including running, freezing, and avoidance). However, endogenous neural dynamics underlying behaviors still remain elusive. Using chronic extracellular recording, recorded spiking activities freely behaving...
Abstract The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has long been thought to regulate conflict between an object of attention and distractors during goal-directed sustained attention. However, it is unclear whether ACC serves itself. Here, we developed a task in which the time course could be controlled rats. Then, using pharmacological lesion experiments, employed assess function We then recorded neuronal activity multichannel extracellular recording techniques identified specific neurons...
Abstract Working memory (WM) research has primarily focused on visual and verbal information, while relatively little is known about tactile information. This study aims to explore the capacity of vibrotactile WM (vtWM) using frequency sequencing task, focuses its functions in simultaneous maintenance transformation supervision, coordination. We conducted four experiments: Experiments 1 2 used simple 3 4 added additional processing tasks (a task a task) task. demonstrated 3‐unit during vtWM...
The willingness to wait for delayed reward and information is of fundamental importance deliberative behaviors. orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) thought be a core component the neural circuitry underlying capacity control waiting. However, correlates active waiting causal role OFC in still remain largely unknown. Here, we trained rats perform task (waiting pseudorandom time obtain water reward), recorded neuronal ensembles throughout task. We observed that subset neurons exhibited ramping...
Purpose: A small animal radiation platform equipped with on-board conebeam CT and conformal irradiation capabilities is being constructed for translational research. This work reports on the dosimetric characteristics of x-ray lens subsystem used high-resolution dose delivery. Method Materials: constant voltage 225 kVp beam from a 0.4 mm focal spot shaped directed to enter 1.5 cm long, 2 diameter cylindrical multi-layer graphite placed 16 downstream source. The emits converging circular...
ABSTRACT The salience assignment is pivotal for both natural and artificial intelligence. Pioneering studies established that basal forebrain cholinergic neurons process behaviorally relevant salient information. However, the neural circuit mechanism underlying remains poorly understood. Here we show acetylcholine (ACh) level in basolateral amygdala (BLA) dynamically represented behavioral salience. Distinct neuronal subpopulations nucleus accumbens (NAc), D1- D2-expressing medium spiny...
