Feedforward and feedback population dynamics during binocular conflict in mouse visual cortex

The paper examines population dynamics in mouse visual cortex during binocular conflict, showing stochastic alternations in stimulus representation driven by both feedforward and feedback circuits.

The functional organization of retrosplenial feedback to V1

This paper investigates the functional properties of feedback connections from retrosplenial cortex to primary visual cortex, finding retinotopically selective signals with specific spatial and temporal frequency tuning.

Experience dependent plasticity of higher visual cortical areas in the mouse

The paper investigates experience-dependent plasticity in mouse visual cortical areas through monocular deprivation and its effects on ocular dominance.

Endogenous recruitment of frontal-sensory circuits during visual discrimination

The paper investigates ACC-V1axon activity in mice during visual tasks and finds it correlates with licking behavior and reward, not sensory coding enhancement.

RPG: A low-cost, open-source, high-performance solution for displaying visual stimuli

RPG is a low-cost, open-source Python package for the Raspberry Pi that delivers visual stimuli with high frame rates and precise timing feedback.

Abi3 regulates microglial ramification and dynamic tissue surveillance in vivo.

This study shows Abi3 is essential for microglial morphology, distribution, and tissue surveillance in vivo, linking it to Alzheimer's disease risk.

Stable encoding of visual cues in the mouse retrosplenial cortex

The paper shows that visual cue representations in the mouse retrosplenial cortex are stable and spatially selective, with stronger locomotion modulation than in primary visual cortex.

Vision and locomotion shape the interactions between neuron types in mouse visual cortex

The paper examines how locomotion affects neuron interactions in mouse visual cortex, finding that it alters synaptic connectivity rather than just disinhibition.

High-yield methods for accurate two-alternative visual psychophysics in head-fixed mice

This paper introduces high-yield methods for two-alternative visual psychophysics in head-fixed mice, showing rapid learning and accurate psychometric curves.

NMDAR hypofunction increases top-down influence on sensory processing

This study investigates how NMDAR hypofunction affects sensory processing in mice by altering top-down and bottom-up cortical activity.

Stability and plasticity of contextual modulation in the mouse visual cortex

The paper examines the stability and plasticity of contextual modulation in the mouse visual cortex over 14 days using 2-photon calcium imaging.
