Approximately one-third of neonatal seizures do not respond to first-line anticonvulsants, including phenobarbital, which enhances phasic inhibition. Whether enhancing tonic inhibition decreases seizure-like activity in the neonate when GABA is mainly depolarizing at...

Layer 5 pyramidal neurons of sensory cortices project “corticofugal” axons to myriad sub-cortical targets, thereby broadcasting high-level signals important for perception and learning. Recent studies suggest dendritic Ca2+ spikes as key biophysical...

Early B-cell factor 1 (EBF1) is a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor essential for the differentiation of various tissues. Our single-cell RNA sequencing data suggest that Ebf1 is expressed in the sensory epithelium of the mouse inner ear. Here, we found that...

Extensive work has investigated the neural processing of single faces, including the role of shape and surface properties. However, much less is known about the neural basis of face ensemble perception (e.g., simultaneously viewing several faces in a crowd)....

Neuroimaging studies suggest cross-sensory visual influences in human auditory cortices (ACs). Whether these influences reflect active visual processing in human ACs, which drives neuronal firing and concurrent broadband high-frequency activity (BHFA; >70 Hz), or...
