Subspace reverse-correlation estimation of receptive fields during free viewing

This paper introduces a method to estimate receptive fields during free viewing by modeling eye position effects as phase shifts using Hartley basis functions, improving sharpness by 56% in mouse V1 recordings.

Contrast and pattern adaptation in visual cortex share a common gain control mechanism

The paper shows contrast and pattern adaptation in visual cortex share a common gain control mechanism by analyzing population response distributions.

Establishing a continuum of cell types in the visual cortex

The paper shows that the L2/3 continuum in the mouse visual cortex develops through two phases: a genetically programmed initial phase and a visually experience-driven second phase.

Temporal dynamics of energy-efficient coding in mouse primary visual cortex

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of sparse coding in mouse primary visual cortex, showing increasing coding efficiency over time.

Contrast gain control is a reparameterization of a population response curve

The paper shows that contrast gain control can be viewed as a reparameterization of a population response curve, invariant across environments.

On the contrast response function of adapted neural populations

The paper shows that the population response magnitude in primary visual cortex follows a separable power-law combining stimulus intensity and probability.

A power law of cortical adaptation

The paper shows that neural population responses adapt to sensory environments with power law scaling of response magnitudes and invariant directions, enabling efficient signal transmission and metabolic adjustment.

Thalamocortical boutons cluster by ON/OFF responses in mouse primary visual cortex

The paper shows that thalamocortical boutons in mouse primary visual cortex cluster by ON/OFF responses, mirroring cortical receptive field organization.

ON/OFF domains shape receptive fields in mouse visual cortex

The paper shows that mouse V1 is organized into ON/OFF domains, which correlate with receptive field organization and simple-cell diversity.

Vision reconstructs the cellular composition of binocular circuitry during the critical period

The paper shows vision transforms unstable binocular circuitry into a network of highly tuned complex feature detectors in layer 2/3 of the cortex.

On the Subspace Invariance of Population Responses

The paper tests subspace invariance in mouse primary visual cortex and finds robust violations, suggesting nonlinearities in population coding.

Untangling cortical maps in mouse primary visual cortex

The paper shows that neuron tuning similarity in mouse visual cortex correlates with receptive field overlap rather than cortical distance, supporting salt-and-pepper map formation from clonally related neurons.
