Learning from unexpected events in the neocortical microcircuit

The paper shows that cortical pyramidal neurons exhibit distinct unexpected event signals in somata and distal apical dendrites that change over days, suggesting a role in hierarchical computation.

Differential encoding of temporal context and expectation under representational drift across hierarchically connected areas

The paper shows that visual areas differentially encode temporal context and expectation in natural scenes, with representational drift observed in lower areas but not higher ones.

Stimulus novelty uncovers coding diversity in survey of visual cortex

The paper identifies diverse functional neuron types in the visual cortex that process novel and familiar stimuli in mice.

A standardized non-visual behavioral event is broadcasted homogeneously across cortical visual areas without modulating visual responses

The paper investigates how a standardized non-visual motor behavior is represented in visual cortex areas and finds it elicits consistent neural responses independent of visual processing.

Reconciling functional differences in populations of neurons recorded with two-photon imaging and electrophysiology

This study compares neuronal responses in visual cortex using electrophysiology and two-photon imaging in awake mice, finding differences in responsiveness and selectivity and exploring data transformations to reconcile them.

A survey of spiking activity reveals a functional hierarchy of mouse corticothalamic visual areas

The paper presents a dataset and analysis of spiking activity across multiple mouse visual areas, revealing that functional connectivity mirrors anatomical hierarchy.

VIP interneurons selectively enhance weak but behaviorally-relevant stimuli.

The paper shows VIP interneurons in mouse visual cortex have complementary contrast tuning to SST neurons and synergistically respond to visual motion and locomotion, enhancing behaviorally-relevant stimuli while maintaining network stability.
