Increased activity without changes in coupling between somata and apical dendrites during visual mismatches

Timothy M. Henley, Joshua Tindall, Jason E. Pina, Roman Pogodin, Shiella Caldejon, Natalia Orlova, Avalon Amaya, Ahad Bawany, Conor Grasso, Peter Groblewski, Vivian Ha, Warren Han, Tye Johnson, Robyn Naidoo, Katrina Nguyen, , Blake A. Richards

This study examines neural responses in mouse visual cortex to natural and artificial visual stimuli, finding increased activity in response to natural mismatches but no change in dendritic-somatic coupling.

Moving object generates topographic responses in the majority of entorhinal neurons

Chinmay Purandare, Séverine Durand, Ben Hardcastle, Ryan Gillis, Mikayla Carlson, Hannah Belski, Carter R. Peene, Ahad Bawany, Siddharth Jha, Avalon M. Amaya, Vivian Ha, Warren Han, Ben Ouellette, Tye Johnson, Robyn Naidoo, , Mayank R. Mehta

The paper shows that moving visual stimuli elicit topographic and directional responses in most entorhinal neurons, revealing visual input's role in shaping their activity.

Recurrent pattern completion drives the neocortical representation of sensory inference

Hyeyoung Shin, Mora Belén Ogando, Lamiae Abdeladim, Uday K. Jagadisan, Séverine Durand, Ben Hardcastle, Hannah Belski, Hannah Cabasco, Henry Loeffler, Ahad Bawany, Josh Wilkes, Katrina Nguyen, Lucas Suarez, Tye Johnson, Warren Han, , Hillel Adesnik

The paper identifies a sparse set of neurons in the mouse visual cortex that mediate illusory contour inference through recurrent pattern completion.

Hierarchical substrates of prediction in visual cortical spiking

Jacob Alan Westerberg, Yihan Xiong, Eli Sennesh, Hamed Nejat, David Ricci, Mazyar Azmi, Séverine Durand, Ben Hardcastle, Hannah Cabasco, Hannah Belski, Ahad Bawany, Ryan Gillis, Henry Loeffler, Carter R. Peene, Warren Han, , André M. Bastos

This study challenges hierarchical predictive coding models by showing that prediction error responses in visual cortex do not involve feedforward processing and that predictive suppression is not mediated by inhibitory interneurons.
