This paper develops a minimally invasive optical clearing medium for live mammalian tissue imaging, enabling structural and functional imaging with minimal impact on cellular properties.

This study shows that spontaneous network activity during a critical period is necessary for callosal axon projections in the mouse visual cortex, but not fully synchronous activity.

The paper identifies distinct response properties and local subnetworks in callosal projection neurons in mouse visual cortex, showing their connectivity and functional biases.
