When performing the orientation task, subjects had to judge whether the second grating was rotated clockwise or anticlockwise with respect to the first grating. In the contrast task subjects had to judge whether the second grating had lower or higher … Continue reading →

The conidial concentration was quantified using a hemacytometer according to Alves (1998). The conidia aqueous 0.1% Tween 80 suspension was adjusted to 108 conidia/mL. The mineral oil proportions used to prepare the formulations were adapted from Angelo et al. (2010). The … Continue reading →

Previous evidence indicates that ACh facilitates glutamatergic transmission in the cortex (Gil et al., 1997 and Hasselmo and McGaughy, 2004) and in the OT (King, 1990). ACh also modulates the excitability of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the forebrain (Hasselmo and McGaughy, … Continue reading →

We used a generalized linear model with a logistic link function to determine whether gamma was predictive of the presence of an SWR. Either the average gamma power across CA1 or CA3 tetrodes or the gamma coherence between the CA1 … Continue reading →

For the stable value procedure, we computed see more the probability of automatic looking (single object-presenting trials – free-looking task, Figure 1D) and the choice rate (choice trials – free-viewing procedure, Figure S2). The target acquisition time was defined as the time … Continue reading →

Importantly, sleep spindles in this frequency range have been associated with memory consolidation (Steriade and Timofeev, 2003). In addition, alpha band activity in the visual system (Kandel and Buzsáki, 1997) and mu rhythms in the sensorimotor system (Nicolelis et al., 1995), … Continue reading →

After three PBS washes, slices were incubated in PBS during 1 hr at room temperature and incubated 2 hr at room temperature with the secondary antibody: Alexa-488 goat anti-chicken (1:1,000, Molecular Probes) or Cyanine 3 donkey anti-rat, anti-mouse, or anti-rabbit (1:500, Jackson … Continue reading →

We scaled the denominator by k to ensure that the estimate of target speed has the correct amplitude, on average. Although it provides the best fit to our data, even Figure 4B does not mimic the data perfectly. It shows a … Continue reading →
