A hippocampal digital Twin reveals latent structure in freely flying bats

This paper develops a functional digital twin of the hippocampus in bats to uncover latent neural organization during natural flight behavior.

Inhibition benefits neural system identification

This paper incorporates inhibition into deep neural networks for neural prediction, showing it improves surround suppression learning but not cross-orientation inhibition.

The functional organization of retinal input to the mouse superior colliculus

The paper maps retinal ganglion cell functional diversity in the mouse superior colliculus and identifies specialized response types for collision detection.

Photoreceptor degeneration has heterogeneous effects on functional retinal ganglion cell types

The paper examines how photoreceptor degeneration in rd10 mice affects the resilience of different functional retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types, finding differential vulnerability among response types.

A chromatic feature detector in the retina signals visual context changes

The paper identifies a retinal ganglion cell type that detects visual context changes by responding selectively to chromatic contrast transitions.

A hemispheric dome setup for naturalistic visual stimulation in head-fixed mice

This paper describes a hemispheric dome setup for naturalistic visual stimulation in head-fixed mice, showing that eye position shifts in response to visual input.

Efficient coding of natural scenes improves neural system identification

This study improves neural system identification by incorporating efficient coding principles, showing better performance and biologically plausible filters in retinal neuron response prediction.

Mouse retinal specializations reflect knowledge of natural environment statistics

The paper uses a UV-green camera to study mouse visual environments and finds that natural scene statistics shape color discrimination and retinal processing in the upper visual field.

An arbitrary-spectrum spatial visual stimulator for vision research

This paper introduces a flexible spatial visual stimulator with arbitrary spectrum control for use in vision research, demonstrating its application in mouse and zebrafish models.
