Neural Correlates of Perceptual Similarity Masking in Primate V1

This study investigates how similarity masking affects V1 responses in macaques, finding initial enhancement followed by suppression and proposing a model to explain these dynamics.

eQTL mapping in transgenic alpha-synuclein carrying Caenorhabditis elegans recombinant inbred line

The paper maps eQTLs in a transgenic C. elegans RIL panel to identify genetic modifiers of alpha-synuclein aggregation and PD-related pathways.

Delayed normalization model captures disparate nonlinear neural dynamics measured with different techniques in macaque and human V1

The paper develops a delayed normalization model to capture nonlinear neural dynamics in macaque and human V1 across different measurement techniques, finding that responses are near-additive in time.

Majority of choice-related variability in perceptual decisions is present in early sensory cortex

The paper investigates how much choice-related variability in perceptual decisions originates from early sensory cortex by analyzing neural responses in V1 during a visual detection task.

Dendritic calcium signals in rhesus macaque motor cortex drive an optical brain-computer interface

This paper demonstrates an optical brain-computer interface (oBCI) using dendritic calcium signals from rhesus macaques during motor tasks, achieving stable decoding of movement direction.
