ERK activity in awake mouse cortex was not only stimulus-driven: spontaneous single, repeated, and sustained signals appeared, and some neurons changed together. doi.org/10.1016/j.neures.2026.105032 #NeuroscienceResearch #Neuroscience #ERK

Japanese painterly NSR cover showing a field of awake cortical cells; distinct single, repeated, and sustained ERK pulse patterns; and a subset of neighboring excitatory neurons with synchronized pulses. The canonical explorer watches several cell lanterns and marks when their pulse rhythms align or diverge. A small washi banner reads Neuroscience Research.

Researchers used a fluorescent sensor that reports ERK activity by a color ratio and imaged visual and somatosensory cortex in awake mice with two-photon microscopy. They tracked single cells during visual stimulation and quiet periods.
