The paper investigates how topographically matched subregions of vS1 and vS2 interact during whisker touch, finding that a sparse population of broadly tuned neurons in superficial layers amplifies touch responses between these areas.

The paper shows that in mouse vS1 cortex, broadly tuned touch neurons are more stable over time than narrowly tuned ones, suggesting they are critical for maintaining behavioral stability.

The paper investigates touch-motor interactions in mouse somatosensory and motor cortices, finding that sparse, broadly tuned neurons mediate these interactions through specialized population dynamics.

This study shows that microstimulation of sensory cortex activates natural sensory representations more than expected by chance, and repeated co-stimulation enhances this effect.

The paper examines how neural activity transforms from layer 4 to layer 2 in primary somatosensory cortex during object localization, finding increased sparsity and reliability in responses.

The paper shows that columnar scale lesions in mouse vS1 impair tactile discrimination but not detection.

This study shows that the rate of change in sensory cortical representations during learning constrains learning and affects behavior in mice performing a microstimulation task.

The paper investigates how local recurrent circuits in the somatosensory cortex amplify sensory signals through subnetworks with elevated connectivity, showing that targeted ablation of specific neurons disrupts stimulus encoding.
