The paper shows that spiking in layer 2/3 neurons and locus coeruleus axons drive visuomotor plasticity in mouse V1, supporting prediction error minimization through activity-dependent reorganization.

This study shows that neurodevelopmental processes in the cortex and thalamus can occur normally without microglia, using a genetically modified mouse model.

The paper studies repopulated microglia in young and old mice using scRNA-seq and other methods, finding they originate from progenitors, reconstitute functional clusters, and show increased inflammation and distinct morphology in aging.
