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 whole-brain monosynaptic input connectome to neuron classes in mouse visual cortex

The paper maps brain-wide monosynaptic inputs to specific neuron classes in mouse visual cortex using an improved rabies virus tracing strategy and identifies connectivity patterns within and between visual areas.

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.
