The paper shows that intrinsic and task-related neural timescales increase hierarchically across mammalian cortices, but thalamic timescales differ from this pattern.

This study shows that number-selective neurons can emerge in untrained deep neural networks, mimicking innate number sense observed in animals.

The paper shows that orthogonal organization of visual tuning maps in V1 originates from structured ON-OFF receptive field patterns in retinal ganglion cell mosaics.

The paper shows that spontaneous retinal waves drive the development of long-range horizontal connections in the visual cortex through feature-specific wiring.

The paper analyzes neural parameters across eight mammalian species to determine if columnar or salt-and-pepper cortical organization arises from species-specific mechanisms or a universal developmental principle, finding the latter.

This study shows face-selective neurons can emerge spontaneously in deep neural networks without training, exhibiting viewpoint-invariant properties similar to those in primates.

The paper proposes a universal developmental mechanism for functional maps in the visual cortex, validated across species and through simulations.
