Article Abstract
Cortical circuit function is regulated by extensively interconnected, diverse populations of GABAergic interneurons that may play key roles in shaping circuit operation according to behavioral context. A specialized population of interneurons that co-express vasoactive intestinal peptides (VIP-INs) are activated during arousal and innervate other INs and pyramidal neurons (PNs). Although state-dependent modulation of VIP-INs has been extensively studied, their role in regulating sensory processing is less well understood. We examined the impact of VIP-INs in the primary visual cortex of awake behaving mice. Loss of VIP-IN activity alters the behavioral state-dependent modulation of somatostatin-expressing INs (SST-INs) but not PNs. In contrast, reduced VIP-IN activity globally disrupts visual feature selectivity for stimulus size. Moreover, the impact of VIP-INs on perceptual behavior varies with context and is more acute for small than large visual cues. VIP-INs thus contribute to both state-dependent modulation of cortical activity and sensory context-dependent perceptual performance.

Objective: Upcoming neuroscientific research will require bidirectional and context dependent interaction with nervous tissue. To facilitate the future neuroscientific discoveries we have created HarPULL, a genuinely real-time system for tracking oscillatory brain state.
Approach: The HarPULL technology ensures reliable, accurate and affordable real-time phase and amplitude tracking based on the state-space estimation framework operationalized by Kalman filtering.
Unlabelled: Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with autism and intellectual disability, results from the loss of expression of the gene. Synaptic and circuit-level abnormalities are well documented in FXS and extensively studied in the KO mouse model. In CA1 hippocampal neurons functional, molecular and structural synaptic changes have been described yet the canonical form of Hebbian CA1 long term potentiation (LTP) remains intact in KO mice.

An animal's feeding state changes its behavioral priorities and thus influences even nonfeeding-related decisions. How the feeding state information is transmitted to nonfeeding-related circuits and what circuit mechanisms are involved in biasing nonfeeding-related decisions remain open questions. By combining calcium imaging, neuronal manipulations, behavioral analysis and computational modeling, we determined that the competition between different aversive responses to mechanical cues is biased by changes in the feeding state.

Emotion regulation is crucial for maintaining normal social interactions and individual psychological health. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to modulate emotional regulation may be a powerful method for neurological or psychiatric disorders. However, TMS efficacy varies between protocols and individuals, with the brain's state during treatment being an often-overlooked factor.

Duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, has been associated with increased blood pressure and other vascular side effects. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. Voltage-dependent K (Kv) channels are key regulators of membrane potential and vascular tone in arterial smooth muscle cells.
