Map of spiking activity underlying change detection in the mouse visual system

The paper presents a database of spiking activity in the mouse visual system during an image change detection task, revealing task-specific coding patterns across brain regions.

SHIELD: Skull-shaped hemispheric implants enabling large-scale-electrophysiology datasets in the mouse brain

SHIELD enables large-scale electrophysiological recordings in mice by providing a skull-shaped implant for repeated multi-probe insertions across brain regions.

Backward masking in mice requires visual cortex

This study shows that backward masking in mice requires visual cortex, as optogenetic silencing of the cortex restores target discrimination.

A survey of neurophysiological differentiation across mouse visual brain areas and timescales

This paper uses Neuropixels recordings to analyze neurophysiological differentiation (ND) in mouse visual brain areas across timescales, finding higher ND for naturalistic stimuli and successful detection trials.

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 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.

High-density extracellular probes reveal dendritic backpropagation and facilitate neuron classification

The paper uses high-density extracellular recordings to classify neurons by brain region and identify dendritic backpropagation through waveform analysis.

Higher-order thalamic circuits channel parallel streams of visual information in mice

The paper identifies three subregions in the mouse lateral posterior nucleus that form corticothalamic loops biased towards ventral or dorsal visual streams and reveal distinct input sources driving their activity.
