Deficits in hippocampus-dependent memory processes are common across psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders such as depression, anxiety and Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, stress is a major environmental risk factor for these pathologies and it exerts detrimental effects on hippocampal functioning via the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-ad...

Sensory processing is influenced by neuromodulators such as serotonin, thought to relay behavioral state. Recent work has shown that the modulatory effect of serotonin itself differs with the animal's behavioral state. In primates, including humans (Beliveau et al., 2017), the serotonin system is anatomically important in the primary visual cortex ...

During development, dramatic changes in myelination, growth of neural networks, and changes in gray-to-white matter ratio build up the astonishingly plastic brain of a child. The progressive increase in myelination insulates the nervous system, which in turn modifies the mechanical microenvironment of the brain spatiotemporally. A growing body of e...

Binocular rivalry is an example of bistable visual perception extensively examined in neuroimaging. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) can track brain responses to phasic visual stimulations of pre-determined frequency and phase to advance our understanding of perceptual dominance and suppression in binocular rivalry. We used left and right eye stimuli t...

Supplementing an earlier analysis of event-related potentials in extensive motor learning (Margraf et al., 2022a, b), frontal theta-band activity (4-8 Hz) was scrutinized. Thirty-seven participants learned a sequential arm-movement with 192 trials in each of five practice sessions. Feedback, based on a performance adaptive bandwidth, was given afte...

Neural mechanisms of human standing are expected to be elucidated for preventing fallings. Postural response evoked by sudden external perturbation originates from various areas in the central nervous system. Recent studies have revealed that the corticospinal pathway is one of key nodes for an appropriate postural response. The corticospinal pathw...

Contexts associated with prior reinforcement can renew extinguished conditioned responding. The prelimbic (PL) and infralimbic (IL) cortices are thought to mediate the expression and suppression of conditioned responding, respectively. Evidence suggests that PL inputs to the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) drive the expression of cue-...

In prodromal and early schizophrenia, disorders of attention and perception are associated with structural and chemical brain abnormalities and with dysfunctional corticothalamic networks exhibiting disturbed brain rhythms. The underlying mechanisms are elusive. The non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine simulates the symptoms of prodrom...

Behavioural flexibility is key to survival in a dynamic environmentWhile flexible, goal-directed behaviours are initially dependent on dorsomedial striatum, they become dependent on lateral striatum as behaviours become inflexible. Similarly, lesions of dopamine terminals in lateral striatum disrupt the development of inflexible habits. This work s...

Fear and anxiety are adaptive states that allow humans and animals alike to respond appropriately to threatening cues in their environment. Commonly used tasks for studying behaviour akin to fear and anxiety in rodent models are Pavlovian threat conditioning and the elevated plus maze (EPM), respectively. In threat conditioning the rodents learn to...
