NEURONS IN THE BARREL CORTEX TURN INTO PROCESSING WHISKER AND ODOR SIGNALS: A CELLULAR MECHANISM FOR THE STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF ASSOCIATIVE SIGNALS

Neurons in the barrel cortex turn into processing whisker and odor signals: a cellular mechanism for the storage and retrieval of associative signals

Associative learning and memory are essential to logical thinking and cognition.How the neurons are recruited as associative memory cells to encode multiple input signals for their associated storage and distinguishable retrieval remains unclear.We studied this issue in the barrel cortex by in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology and

A macrorhynchos-like Eurasian Nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) in the Dolomites with a very abraded ring: an aged immigrant, or a locally born bird?

The origin of strikketøy oppbevaring the ringed bird, photographed at Passo Gardena on 28 July 2016, remains unknown.However, considering that 1) irruptions of the macrorhynchos subspecies into the region have not occurred for years compatible with the degree of abrasion of the ring; 2) dispersed macrorhynchos individuals rarely survive for long p
