Moore JT, Mccarren HS, Beck SG, Kelz MB (2010) Lesioning of the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus alters isoflurane-induced hypnosis in a time-dependent fashion. Neuroscience 2010 Abstracts 300.28/KKK36. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Despite 160 years of clinical use, the neural mechanisms through which general anesthetics act remain unknown. One possibility is that anesthetics exert […]

Ramanathan D, Conner JM, Anilkumar AA, Tuszynski MH (2010) Early post-natal cholinergic lesion impairs normal development and maturation of the motor cortex in rats. Neuroscience 2010 Abstracts 32.14/D20. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Prior studies have indicated that sensory and motor representations develop over a defined postnatal period and are dependent upon behavioral

Sheikh A, Kanold PO (2010) Subplate neurons promote the formation of barrels within rat primary somatosensory cortex. Neuroscience 2010 Abstracts 33.1/E1. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Subplate neurons are a transient neuronal population present in the neonatal cortex. Subplate neurons receive thalamic afferents and project into the developing cortical plate. Selective removal of
