Dept of Physiology, Northwestern Wired for action: local circuits in mouse motor cortex How is
the motor cortex internally organized? I will describe recent results
from ongoing projects aimed at dissecting the local circuit layout of
mouse motor-frontal cortex, using in vitro optical/electrophysiological
methods such as glutamate uncaging and channelrhodopsin-2 photostimulation. The
focus will be on corticospinal and corticostriatal
neurons, two excitatory cell types centrally involved in cortical mechanisms for motor control. 09/03/2009 |
