Distinct roles of PV and Sst interneurons in visually-induced gamma oscillations

The paper identifies distinct temporal roles of PV and Sst interneurons in visually-induced gamma oscillations in awake mice.

Stimulus-specificity of surround-induced responses in primary visual cortex

The paper investigates surround-induced responses in mouse V1 neurons and finds they occur for large gray patches regardless of RF stimulus mismatch, suggesting they represent surface representation rather than prediction.

Optogenetic stimulation reveals frequency-dependent resonance and encoding in V1 excitatory and inhibitory neurons

This study uses optogenetics to show that mouse V1 neurons encode high-frequency inputs with phase-locking and low-frequency inputs with more globally reliable responses.

Spontaneous variability in gamma dynamics described by a linear harmonic oscillator driven by noise

The paper analyzes gamma oscillations in macaque V1, showing they can be modeled by a linear harmonic oscillator driven by noise, capturing amplitude-duration correlations and other features.

A distinct class of bursting neurons with strong gamma synchronization and stimulus selectivity in monkey V1

The paper identifies a distinct class of bursting neurons in monkey V1 that show strong gamma synchronization and stimulus selectivity, suggesting a role in encoding visual information.
