Temporal weighting of cortical and subcortical spikes reveals stimulus dependent differences in their contributions to behavior.

The paper uses reverse correlation analysis to show that SC and V1 spiking contribute differently to contrast and luminance detection in mice.

Homeostatic Reinforcement Theory Accounts for Sodium Appetitive State- and Taste- Dependent Dopamine Responding.

This paper extends homeostatic regulation into a reinforcement learning framework to model sodium-seeking behavior and dopamine signaling in rats.

Perceptual Weighting of V1 Spikes Revealed by Optogenetic White Noise Stimulation

The paper uses optogenetic white noise stimulation to determine how timing of V1 spikes influences visual detection behavior in mice.

Perceptual detection depends on spike count integration

The paper shows that perceptual detection in mice depends on integrating spike counts in V1 rather than instantaneous spiking changes.

Different inhibitory interneuron cell classes make distinct contributions to visual perception

The paper shows that different inhibitory interneurons in the visual cortex of mice have distinct effects on contrast perception, with PV and SST impairing and VIP improving detection.
