Cell-type-specific coupling of single-unit spikes to cortical ripples conserved across macaque and human V1

The paper identifies cell-type-specific spiking patterns during cortical ripples in macaque and human V1, showing conserved circuit mechanisms across species and conditions.

Detection and Removal of Hyper-synchronous Artifacts in Massively Parallel Spike Recordings

The paper identifies and removes hyper-synchronous artifacts in electrophysiological recordings using zero-phase component analysis.

Retinotopy constrains the topology of neural manifolds in macaque visual cortex

The paper shows that retinotopy in macaque V1 shapes neural population activity into loop-like manifolds, confirmed by both experimental data and a minimal neural response model.

Spontaneous spiking statistics form unique area-specific fingerprints and reflect the hierarchy of cerebral cortex

The paper shows that spontaneous spiking statistics uniquely identify cortical areas and correlate with their hierarchical position in the cerebral cortex.

Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region

This study identifies two distinct neural manifolds in V1 correlated with eye state and shows top-down signals from V4 to V1, particularly in the foveal region, during eyes-open periods.

Cortical multi-area model with joint excitatory-inhibitory clusters accounts for spiking statistics, inter-area propagation, and variability dynamics

This paper develops a cortical model with excitatory-inhibitory clusters that captures spiking statistics, inter-area propagation, and variability dynamics in primate visual cortex.

Ubiquitous lognormal distribution of neuron densities in mammalian cerebral cortex

The paper shows neuron densities in mammalian cerebral cortex follow a lognormal distribution across and within cortical areas, suggesting a new organizational principle.
