The paper shows that moving visual stimuli elicit topographic and directional responses in most entorhinal neurons, revealing visual input's role in shaping their activity.

The paper presents a database of spiking activity in the mouse visual system during an image change detection task, revealing task-specific coding patterns across brain regions.

The paper identifies a sparse set of neurons in the mouse visual cortex that mediate illusory contour inference through recurrent pattern completion.

This study challenges hierarchical predictive coding models by showing that prediction error responses in visual cortex do not involve feedforward processing and that predictive suppression is not mediated by inhibitory interneurons.

SHIELD enables large-scale electrophysiological recordings in mice by providing a skull-shaped implant for repeated multi-probe insertions across brain regions.

The paper shows hoverflies use passive inertial damping in their head anatomy to stabilize gaze during high-speed flight, unlike blowflies and horseflies which rely on sensory feedback.

This study identifies neural circuitry in Drosophila that processes skylight polarization signals for navigation, revealing a map-like organization in the visual pathway.

This study identifies serotonin receptor expression in Drosophila visual neurons and shows serotonin modulates visual processing through calcium signaling changes.

This study identifies novel fly visual cells that encode translatory optic flow and depth during motion, contributing to navigation in cluttered environments.
