Mice require proprioception to establish long-term visuospatial memory.

The paper shows that proprioception in the dysgranular zone of primary somatosensory cortex is necessary for mice to form long-term visuospatial memory in the Morris Water Maze.

A human-specific modifier of cortical circuit connectivity and function improves behavioral performance

This study shows that the human-specific gene SRGAP2C increases cortico-cortical connectivity and improves sensory processing and behavioral performance in mice.

The sensorimotor strategies and neuronal representations of tactile shape discrimination in mice

This study investigates how mice discriminate tactile shapes by analyzing neuronal activity in the barrel cortex during a shape discrimination task.

Deep and superficial layers of the primary somatosensory cortex are critical for whisker-based texture discrimination in mice

The paper investigates the role of different cortical layers in texture discrimination using a 2AFC paradigm in mice, finding that both deep and superficial layers are critical for this task.
