CDKL5 phosphorylates neuronal ELAVL proteins to promote mRNA binding, protein synthesis and visual cortex development

This study identifies CDKL5 as a kinase that phosphorylates nELAVL proteins, enhancing mRNA binding and protein synthesis, and shows its role in visual cortex development.

Functional specialisation of multisensory temporal integration in the mouse superior colliculus

This study investigates how multisensory temporal integration occurs in the mouse superior colliculus by analyzing neural responses to audiovisual stimuli with varying temporal asynchronies.

Topographic alignment of auditory inputs to the visual cortex

The paper investigates how auditory cortex inputs are organized in the visual cortex, finding that sound location information is differentially broadcast across visual areas matching their retinotopic bias.

PhotoNeuro: A compact photodetector for synchronization of visual stimulus presentation during behavioral experiments in neuroscience.

The paper introduces a compact photodetector for synchronizing visual stimuli in neuroscience experiments, designed to work with common hardware and software tools.

Prediction of future input explains lateral connectivity in primary visual cortex

This study shows that a recurrent neural network optimized for predicting sensory inputs explains the functional and anatomical connectivity patterns in primary visual cortex.

A Biologically Inspired Attention Model for Neural Signal Analysis

This paper introduces SPARKS, a biologically inspired model that achieves high decoding accuracy and interpretability in neural signal analysis across multiple datasets.

Functional selectivity and specific connectivity of inhibitory neurons in primary visual cortex

The paper shows that inhibitory neurons in mouse primary visual cortex selectively connect with excitatory neurons based on response similarity, stabilizing network dynamics and enabling subnetwork competition.

Exclusive functional subnetworks of intracortical projection neurons in primary visual cortex

The paper investigates how projection neurons in primary visual cortex connect locally and find that target specificity constrains local connectivity independently of response similarity.
