DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Naoya Takahashi\nAbstract: Converging evidence suggest
 s that perception involves feedback from higher to primary sensory regions
 . However\, there is as yet no clear explanation for how feedback operates
  at the mechanistic level. It has been proposed that the action of feedbac
 k depends on the active properties of the apical dendrites of pyramidal ne
 urons. Here\, we found that Ca2+ activity in the apical dendrites of a sub
 set of layer 5 (L5) pyramidal neurons in primary somatosensory cortex (S1)
  in mice was correlated with the threshold for perceptual detection of whi
 sker deflections. Manipulating the activity of apical dendrites shifted th
 e perceptual threshold\, demonstrating that perceptual process depends cri
 tically on activation of the apical dendrites of L5 pyramidal neurons in S
 1.
