State-dependent modulation of activity in distinct layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in barrel cortex of awake mice

The paper investigates the spiking patterns of layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in awake mice during whisking and locomotion, finding diverse response profiles linked to behavioral states.

Frontal eye field inactivation alters the readout of superior colliculus activity for saccade generation in a task-dependent manner

This study investigates how FEF inactivation affects iSC activity during saccade generation across different tasks, finding task-dependent reductions in spike counts.

Impairment but not abolishment of express saccades after unilateral- or bilateral cryogenic FEF inactivation

The paper investigates the role of the frontal eye fields (FEF) in express saccades by inactivating FEF in monkeys, finding that FEF facilitates but does not critically enable express saccades.

Frontal eye field inactivation reduces saccade preparation in the superior colliculus, but does not alter how preparatory activity relates to saccade latency

This study investigates the role of the frontal eye fields (FEF) in saccade preparation by inactivating FEF in rhesus monkeys and analyzing its effect on superior colliculus (SC) preparatory activity and saccadic reaction times (SRTs).

Frontal Eye Field inactivation diminishes Superior Colliculus activity, but delayed saccadic accumulation governs reaction time increases

The paper investigates how FEF inactivation affects iSC activity and saccadic reaction time, finding that delayed accumulation onset, not reduced accumulation rate or threshold, best explains increased SRT.
