Functional ultrasound (fUS) using a 1-D-array transducer normally is insufficient to capture volumetric functional activity due to being restricted to imaging a single brain slice at a time. Typically, for volumetric fUS, functional recordings are repeated many times as the tr ...

Fast and Accurate Whisker Tracking in Rodents
Mice and rats can rapidly move their whiskers when exploring the environment. Accurate description of these movements is important for behavioral studies in neuroscience. Whisker tracking is, however, a notoriously difficult task due to the fast movements and frequent crossing ...

An Iterative Algorithm for Whisker Detection in Video Frames
Automated whisker tracking is important for researching active touch in rodents. Earlier efforts to detect whiskers and represent them in a small set of parameters were either not accurate enough to enable tracking over time, or computationally expensive. In this article we pr ...
Romano et al. show that cerebellar Purkinje cell activity follows the respiratory rhythm during rest. Triggered by sensory input, Purkinje cells can alter their activity and thereby accelerate the timing of the next inspiration. Concomitantly, they also augment whisker movemen ...
