This study shows that pulvinar bursts modulate attention and improve behavioral performance in macaques.

This study compares information content in local field potentials (LFP) and near-field LFP (nfLFP) to determine which better indexes local neural computations, finding nfLFP more informative for stimulus processing.

The paper reports reversible edema in macaques after electric drilling for craniotomy, observed via MRI, and advises caution in electrophysiological recordings for 2-3 weeks post-surgery.

The paper uses machine learning to track stimulus-specific information flow across layers of visual cortex, confirming prior model predictions about how information is processed in the canonical cortical microcircuit.

The paper shows that monocular V1 neurons in all layers, including input layers, respond to both eyes, suggesting binocular processing occurs earlier than previously thought.

The paper shows that stimulus repetition enhances encoding efficiency in V1 by altering intracortical signaling and increasing neural synchrony and tuning sharpness.

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of binocular integration in primate V1, revealing two distinct phases: an initial transient increase in activity followed by selective suppression based on stimulus congruence.
