Trial-by-trial inter-areal interactions in visual cortex in the presence or absence of visual stimulation

The paper predicts neuronal activity in one visual cortical area from another in single trials, with or without visual stimulation, in mice and macaques.

Neural pathways and computations that achieve stable contrast processing tuned to natural scenes

The paper identifies how Drosophila visual circuits achieve stable contrast processing in natural scenes through spatially pooled luminance signals and divisive normalization.

Heterogeneity of synaptic connectivity in the fly visual system

The paper identifies heterogeneous synaptic connectivity in Drosophila visual columns, showing Tm9 neurons have diverse inputs compared to uniform Tm1 and Tm2 neurons.

An optimal population code for global motion estimation in local direction-selective cells

The paper shows that local direction-selective T4/T5 neurons in Drosophila encode optic flow fields for self-motion, forming a population code similar to vertebrates.

The physiological basis for the computation of direction selectivity in the Drosophila OFF pathway

The paper shows how direction selectivity in the Drosophila OFF pathway is achieved through specific neuronal circuit elements and receptive field organization.
