This study shows that activating GABAergic neurons in the superior colliculus of mice triggers a coordinated sequence of orienting movements involving multiple effectors.

This study compares thalamocortical and intracortical inputs in cortical activity during wakefulness and anesthesia, finding thalamocortical inputs drive homogeneous firing increases in inhibitory neurons.

The paper studies short-term plasticity (STP) in the retinocollicular pathway of mice, revealing three distinct stages of STP involving both synaptic and nonsynaptic mechanisms.

This paper introduces two tangential insertion methods for high-density silicone probes in head-fixed mice to improve spatial sampling of hippocampal activity.

The paper shows that sequential visual flickering increases high-frequency power in the visual cortex of mice.

The paper measures short-term plasticity in synaptic inputs and spike transmission at the retinocollicular synapse in mice, finding that spike transmission shows greater facilitation than dendritic responses and is influenced by the timing of the last postsynaptic spike.

This study models how retinal waves during development shape the concentric orientation map in the mouse superior colliculus and align it to the center of vision.

The paper investigates how excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus integrate retinal inputs in vivo, finding similar connection strengths but different contributions of RGC activity to excitatory vs. inhibitory neurons.

The paper demonstrates an efficient method to map thalamocortical connectivity in vivo using high-density electrodes in mouse cortex.

This study examines how the absence of Fmr1 affects auditory response patterns in the Inferior Colliculus of mice, identifying changes linked to acoustic hypersensitivity.

The paper uses high-density recordings to show retinal axons and midbrain neurons form specific, strong connections with sparse inputs, revealing similar wiring rules in mammals and birds.

The paper shows that whisker asymmetry predicts turn direction in mice earlier than eye movement during navigation tasks.

The paper describes a method to measure neuronal activity across a large region of the mouse superior colliculus using high-density electrodes and optogenetic tools for cell-type identification.

This paper introduces a theory explaining cortical map diversity across species through thalamic afferent density and its impact on cortical domain formation.
