Membrane potential dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in mouse barrel cortex during active whisker sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Aurélie Pala, Taro Kiritani, Célia Roxane Gasselin

Neocortical neurons can increasingly be divided into well-defined classes, but their activity patterns during quantified behavior remain to be fully determined. Here, we obtained membrane potential recordings from various classes of excitatory and inhibito ...

Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Sparse Coding of Active Touch

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer

Sensory information is actively gathered by animals, but the synaptic mechanisms driving neuronal circuit function during active sensory processing are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the synaptically driven membrane potential dynamics during acti ...

Parallel pathways from whisker and visual sensory cortices to distinct frontal regions of mouse neocortex

Carl Petersen, Varun Sreenivasan, Céline Matéo, Alexandros Kyriakatos

The spatial organization of mouse frontal cortex is poorly understood. Here, we used voltage-sensitive dye to image electrical activity in the dorsal cortex of awake head-restrained mice. Whisker-deflection evoked the earliest sensory response in a localiz ...

Layer-Dependent Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity Between Excitatory Neurons in the C2 Barrel Column of Mouse Primary Somatosensory Cortex

Carl Petersen, Sandrine Lefort

Neurons process information through spatiotemporal integration of synaptic input. Synaptic transmission between any given pair of neurons is typically a dynamic process with presynaptic action potentials (APs) evoking depressing or facilitating postsynapti ...

Somatostatin enhances visual processing and perception by suppressing excitatory inputs to parvalbumin-positive interneurons in V1

Graham Knott, Carl Petersen, Catherine Maclachlan

Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide expressed in a major subtype of GABAergic interneurons in the cortex. Despite abundant expression of SST and its receptors, their modulatory function in cortical processing remains unclear. Here, we found that SST appli ...

Cell Type-Specific Membrane Potential Changes in Dorsolateral Striatum Accompanying Reward-Based Sensorimotor Learning

Tanya C Sippy, Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet

The striatum integrates sensorimotor and motivational signals, likely playing a key role in reward-based learning of goal-directed behavior. However, cell type-specific mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning remain to be precisely determined. Here, w ...

BOLD responses to trigeminal nerve stimulation

Rolf Gruetter, Carl Petersen, Nathalie Just

The current study investigates a new model of barrel cortex activation using stimulation of the infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve. A robust and reproducible activation of the rat barrel cortex was obtained following trigeminal nerve stimulation. ...

Cell-Type-Specific Sensorimotor Processing in Striatal Projection Neurons during Goal-Directed Behavior

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Tanya C Sippy, Damien Lapray

Goal-directed sensorimotor transformation drives important aspects of mammalian behavior. The striatum is thought to play a key role in reward-based learning and action selection, receiving glutamatergic sensorimotor signals and dopaminergic reward signals ...

Parameter extraction and classification of three cortical neuron types reveals two distinct adaptation mechanisms

Wulfram Gerstner, Carl Petersen, Richard Naud, Christian Antonio Pozzorini, Skander Mensi, Michael Avermann

Mensi S, Naud R, Pozzorini C, Avermann M, Petersen CCH, Gerstner W. Parameter extraction and classification of three cortical neuron types reveals two distinct adaptation mechanisms. J Neurophysiol 107: 1756-1775, 2012. First published December 7, 2011; do ...

Whole-Cell Recording of Neuronal Membrane Potential during Behavior

Carl Petersen

Neuronal membrane potential is of fundamental importance for the mechanistic understanding of brain function. This review discusses progress in whole-cell patch-clamp recordings for low-noise measurement of neuronal membrane potential in awake behaving ani ...

Dopamine dynamics in nucleus accumbens across reward-based learning of goal-directed whisker-to-lick sensorimotor transformations in mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Jun Huang

The synaptic and neuronal circuit mechanisms underlying reward-based learning remain to be fully determined. In the mammalian brain, dopamine release in nucleus accumbens is thought to contribute importantly to reward signals for learning and promoting syn ...

Ultrastructural comparison of dendritic spine morphology preserved with cryo and chemical fixation

Graham Knott, Carl Petersen, Jérôme Blanc, Natalya Korogod

Previously, we showed that cryo fixation of adult mouse brain tissue gave a truer representation of brain ultrastructure in comparison with a standard chemical fixation method (Korogod et al., 2015). Extracellular space matched physiological measurements, ...

Neural mechanisms underlying uninstructed orofacial movements during reward-based learning behaviors

Carl Petersen

During reward-based learning tasks, animals make orofacial movements that globally influence brain activity at the timings of reward expectation and acquisition. These orofacial movements are not explicitly instructed and typically appear along with goal-d ...

Rapid suppression and sustained activation of distinct cortical regions for a delayed sensory-triggered motor response

Wulfram Gerstner, Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Alireza Modirshanechi, Vahid Esmaeili, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli, Georgios Foustoukos, Keita Tamura, Yanqi Liu, Anastasiia Oryshchuk

The neuronal mechanisms generating a delayed motor response initiated by a sensory cue remain elusive. Here, we tracked the precise sequence of cortical activity in mice transforming a brief whisker stimulus into delayed licking using wide-field calcium im ...

Facilitating sensory responses in developing mouse somatosensory barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

The sensory responses in the barrel cortex of mice aged postnatal day (P)7-P12 evoked by a single whisker deflection are smaller in amplitude and spread over a smaller area than those measured in P13-P21 mice. However, repetitive 10-Hz stimulation or paire ...

Cortical Control of Whisker Movement

Carl Petersen

Facial muscles drive whisker movements, which are important for active tactile sensory perception in mice and rats. These whisker muscles are innervated by cholinergic motor neurons located in the lateral facial nucleus. The whisker motor neurons receive s ...
