Spiking activity in the visual thalamus is coupled to pupil dynamics across temporal scales

This study shows that spiking activity in the mouse thalamus is coupled to pupil dynamics across multiple timescales, revealing distinct spiking patterns linked to different phases of pupil dynamics.

Robust effects of corticothalamic feedback and behavioral state on movie responses in mouse dLGN

The paper investigates how corticothalamic feedback and behavioral state affect visual responses in mouse dLGN using in vivo recordings and optogenetic suppression.

Corticothalamic feedback sculpts visual spatial integration in mouse thalamus

The paper shows cortical feedback sharpens receptive fields and increases surround suppression in mouse thalamus via visTRN neurons.

Stereotyped large amplitude cortical LFP events can be clustered and reveal precisely ordered phase-locking in neuronal populations

The paper clusters stereotyped large amplitude cortical LFP events and reveals precise phase-locking in neuronal populations during anesthetized states.

Cortical state and natural movie responses in cat visual cortex

The paper examines how cortical states affect neural responses to natural stimuli in anesthetized cats, finding more precise responses during synchronized states compared to desynchronized states.
