Recurrent pattern completion drives the neocortical representation of sensory inference

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

Feature-specific inhibitory connectivity augments the accuracy of cortical representations

The paper shows that feature-specific inhibitory connectivity in cortical circuits enhances the accuracy of visual representations by enabling completion or cancelation of activity patterns.

maskNMF: A denoise-sparsen-detect approach for extracting neural signals from dense imaging data

maskNMF improves demixing of dense calcium imaging data by denoising, sparsening, and using constrained non-negative matrix factorization to accurately recover neural activity.

Probing inter-areal computations with a cellular resolution two-photon holographic mesoscope

The paper introduces a two-photon holographic mesoscope for high-resolution mapping of functional connectivity and causal interactions across brain areas.

High performance microbial opsins for spatially and temporally precise perturbations of large neuronal networks

This paper engineers high-performance microbial opsins for precise spatial and temporal control of neuronal networks, enabling large-scale activation of defined neurons in vivo and in vitro.
