Parallel construction of object motion from retina to cortex

Javier Weddington, David D. Au, Joshua B. Melander, Youssef Faragalla, Zaki Alaoui, Stephen A. Baccus

The paper shows that post-retinal brain areas recompute object motion sensitivity rather than inherit it from the retina, revealing parallel specialization in motion processing.

Single-camera, calibration-free gaze estimation using corneal reflections

David D. Au, Joshua B. Melander, Javier Weddington, Youssef Faragalla, Zaki Alaoui, Shenghua Liu, Qing Xu, Stephen A. Baccus

This paper introduces a calibration-free corneal-reflection eye tracking system for head-fixed mice using a single camera and multiple fiducial LEDs, achieving sub-degree accuracy and improving receptive field measurements.

Reward contingency gates selective cholinergic suppression of amygdala neurons

Eyal Yaacov Kimchi, Anthony Burgos-Robles, Gillian A. Matthews, Tatenda L. Chakoma, Makenzie Patarino, Javier Weddington, Cody A. Siciliano, Wannan Yang, Shaun Foutch, Renee Simons, Ming‐fai Fong, Miao Jing, Yulong Li, Daniel B. Polley, Kay M. Tye

This study shows that basal forebrain cholinergic activation modulates amygdala neuron activity based on reward contingency, affecting conditioned behavior but not unconditioned responses.
