The paper identifies an expanded hypothalamic visual network in a diurnal mammal, showing distinct visual response classes beyond the SCN.

This study shows that circadian phase modulates visual information transmission in the mouse thalamus, enhancing coding efficiency under high-contrast conditions at night.

The paper describes a system for 3D reconstruction of mouse behaviour, including hardware setup, calibration, and software for processing video data to analyze behavioural responses to stimuli.

The paper investigates how neurons in the mouse visual thalamus represent active and passive motion during natural behavior and finds that they can track both types of motion and partially separate them.

This study compares visual code restoration in retinal degenerate mice by targeting opsins to bipolar cells versus retinal ganglion cells, finding that bipolar cell targeting produces a richer visual code.

This study shows that whisker somatosensory cortex in mice encodes body state during exploratory behavior, integrating sensory and motor signals into an embodied representation.

The paper compares retinal cell composition and visual coding between diurnal and nocturnal mice to show how evolutionary changes in cell types reconfigure visual information processing.

The paper shows that surviving retinal circuits can generate a functional visual code similar to wildtype even after advanced photoreceptor degeneration using optogenetic stimulation.

The paper identifies 'look-up' and 'look-down' neurons in the mouse visual thalamus during free movement, showing their activity is modulated by head posture and movement.

The paper introduces a new measure, CFIMI, to quantify concurrent neural firing between two units using mutual information, validated through simulations and experimental data.

This paper demonstrates that Lamplight, a bistable opsin, can be used for switchable and scalable optogenetic inhibition of neurons in mice.

This study investigates the relationship between infra-slow and fast beta/gamma oscillations in the mouse visual system, finding they co-occur in some neurons and that infra-slow rhythms modulate beta/gamma amplitude.

This study develops automated methods to measure vision in mice using innate defensive responses, showing they can assess visual acuity and detect retinal dysfunction.
