Joint tracking of active and passive motion in the mouse visual thalamus during natural behaviour

The paper investigates how neurons in the mouse visual thalamus represent active and passive motion during natural behavior and finds that they can track both types of motion and partially separate them.

Embodied processing in whisker somatosensory cortex during exploratory behaviour in freely moving mice

This study shows that whisker somatosensory cortex in mice encodes body state during exploratory behavior, integrating sensory and motor signals into an embodied representation.

Sensory adaptation in the barrel cortex during active sensation in the awake, behaving mouse

This study shows sensory adaptation occurs during active whisker sensing in awake mice, driven by both motor and sensory encoding effects.

A cortico-collicular circuit for accurate orientation to shelter during escape

This paper identifies a cortico-collicular circuit in mice that encodes shelter direction and is essential for accurate orientation during escape.

Look-up and look-down neurons in the mouse visual thalamus during freely moving exploration

The paper identifies 'look-up' and 'look-down' neurons in the mouse visual thalamus during free movement, showing their activity is modulated by head posture and movement.

Characterization of induction methods for Drosophila seizure mutations

The paper compares seizure-induction methods in Drosophila to identify the most effective for studying seizure-prone mutants.

On the use of calcium deconvolution algorithms in practical contexts

This study evaluates how different calcium deconvolution algorithms affect inferred neural activity, correlations, and coding in calcium imaging data.

A system for tracking whisker kinematics and whisker shape in three dimensions

The paper develops a system to track whisker movements and shape in 3D using high-speed stereo imaging and computational algorithms.
