The paper investigates rapid sensory adaptation across multiple timescales in the thalamocortical circuit using multi-electrode recordings in mice, revealing two distinct adaptation timescales and their neural mechanisms.

The paper investigates how thalamic bursting and timing affect cortical responses in awake mice using optogenetics and electrophysiology.

This study investigates rapid cortical adaptation during wakefulness in mice, finding that thalamic synchrony and feedforward inhibition play key roles in shaping sensory representations.

This paper develops a motion compensation method for whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in vivo, significantly improving gigaseal and recording yields in the mouse thalamus.

The paper analyzes membrane potential fluctuations in turtle pyramidal neurons to show they exhibit scale-free properties consistent with critical branching networks, suggesting they reflect high-dimensional cortical activity.

The paper investigates how network properties influence response variability and population coupling in cortical neurons using experimental and computational approaches.

This study examines how network activity affects subthreshold and spiking visual responses in pyramidal neurons of a three-layer cortex using an ex vivo turtle model.

The paper measures correlated response variability in visual cortex using membrane potential recordings and shows that intracortical adaptation mediates dynamic changes in correlation levels.

The paper studies visual response properties in the three-layer turtle visual cortex using extracellular recordings, finding large receptive fields, broad stimulus responsiveness, and high correlation between distant neural ensembles.
