Experience-dependent reorganization of inhibitory neuron synaptic connectivity

The paper shows that experience reorganizes inhibitory neuron connectivity in the mouse olfactory cortex, increasing network response dimensionality and discriminability of familiar stimuli.

Rarely categorical and highly separable: how neural representations change along the cortical hierarchy

The paper analyzes neural representations across the cortical hierarchy and finds that while categorical encoding is rare within regions, overall cortical structure supports categorical organization and maximal separability.

Task-dependent optimal representations for cerebellarlearning

This study determines the optimal granule cell representation for cerebellar learning tasks beyond random stimulus discrimination, finding that dense representations are more optimal for continuous input-output transformations.

Optimal routing to cerebellum-like structures

The paper develops a general theory of cerebellum-like structures and their afferent pathways, predicting functional roles and reconciling existing theories.

Rapid suppression and sustained activation of distinct cortical regions for a delayed sensory-triggered motor response

This study identifies cortical regions involved in delayed sensory-triggered motor responses in mice using calcium imaging and electrophysiology.
