Nicotine causes highly localized and tuned changes in thalamocortical gain that cascade strongly and selectively through the cortical circuit.

Preprint · July 14, 2026 In layer 4 of the primary sensory cortices, sensory data meets contextual information carried by modulatory systems, establishing a potentially important point of control. Accordingly, modulatory receptor expression at this point often differs from other n ... Full text Link to item Cite

Integrated metabolomics and proteomics from voxelated cortical hemispheres of adult rhesus monkeys.

Preprint · April 16, 2026 The spatial organization of molecular networks across cortex likely contributes to differences in local circuit vulnerability in aging and Alzheimer's disease; yet many existing molecular datasets sacrifice spatial structure, sampling only a handful of reg ...

Calcium-binding protein expression alone is insufficient to identify and classify GABAergic neurons in macaque cortex.

Preprint · January 28, 2026 Understanding neuron subclasses and their functional consequences can contribute to understanding brain circuits. A scheme long used to classify GABAergic neurons in the neocortex is based on expression of three calcium-binding proteins (CBPs): parvalbumin ... Full text Link to item Cite
