1489-Circular Axonal Architecture in the Mouse Cortex
The research article describes the discovery of rotating waves of neural activity that propagate across the mouse brain in circular patterns. Using wide-field calcium imaging and high-density electrode recordings, scientists identified that these electrical vortices are primarily centered in the somatosensory cortex and move sequentially across maps of the body surface. This activity is not random; it is dictated by a specific circular axonal architecture and is mirrored symmetrically between the brain's hemispheres and across sensory-motor boundaries. These waves are not limited to the…
