The paper investigates the effects of dark exposure on visual processing in adult mice, finding that while it temporarily reduces neural discriminability, it stabilizes orientation preference and improves discriminability for both low and high spatial frequency stimuli.

The paper shows that new skill learning in mice does not disrupt existing visual cortex function, but increases representational drift in some neurons.

This study shows that early postnatal visual experience enhances natural scene discriminability in V1 by reducing low-spatial frequency grating-responsive neurons and increasing natural scene responsiveness.
