Cortical sensory processing across motivational states during goal-directed behavior

Sami El-Boustani, Carl Petersen, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer, Georgios Foustoukos, Maëlle Guyoton

Behavioral states can influence performance of goal-directed sensorimotor tasks. Yet, it is unclear how altered neuronal sensory representations in these states relate to task performance and learning. We trained water-restricted mice in a two-whisker disc ...

Anatomically and functionally distinct thalamocortical inputs to primary and secondary mouse whisker somatosensory cortices

Sami El-Boustani, Carl Petersen, Berat Semihcan Sermet, Georgios Foustoukos

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking. Here, we us ...

Distinct Contributions of Whisker Sensory Cortex and Tongue-Jaw Motor Cortex in a Goal-Directed Sensorimotor Transformation

Sami El-Boustani, Carl Petersen, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer, Georgios Foustoukos, Keita Tamura

The neural circuits underlying goal-directed sensorimotor transformations in the mammalian brain are incompletely understood. Here, we compared the role of primary tongue-jaw motor cortex (tjM1) and primary whisker sensory cortex (wS1) in head-restrained m ...
