Prior experience establishes a proactive cortical filter that blocks redundant associations

The paper shows that prior auditory learning inhibits somatosensory responses in mice through ACC-S1 projections, promoting blocking of redundant associations.

Common Phenomenal and Neural Substrate Geometry in Visual Motion Perception.

This study compares the geometric structure of human visual motion dissimilarity ratings with neural population responses in mouse V1 to explore commonalities between subjective experience and neural substrates.

Anesthesia Lowers Spatial Frequency Preference in the Primary Visual Cortex

This study shows that isoflurane anesthesia shifts neuron preferred spatial frequency to lower values in mouse V1, impairing fine visual detail encoding.

GABA mediates experience-dependent regulation of myelination in the mouse visual pathway.

This study shows that GABA signaling in the optic nerve mediates experience-dependent myelination, with binocular deprivation having less impact than monocular deprivation.

Long-range interhemispheric projection neurons show biased response properties and fine-scale local subnetworks in mouse visual cortex

The paper identifies distinct response properties and local subnetworks in callosal projection neurons in mouse visual cortex, showing their connectivity and functional biases.

Developmental Phase Transitions in Spatial Organization of Spontaneous Activity in Postnatal Barrel Cortex Layer 4

The paper identifies three phases of spontaneous activity in postnatal barrel cortex layer 4 neurons and shows distinct mechanisms drive transitions between them.
