This paper uses a transformer-based model to show that macaque V1 neurons use sparse, stimulus-dependent readout for orientation information.

The paper examines coding regimes in macaque inferotemporal cortex, finding both shared low-dimensional representations and sparse, feature-random single-neuron responses that contribute to object recognition.

The paper shows that fine-global form and fine-local detail are processed in parallel in V1 and preserved through the ventral visual stream for both foveal and parafoveal vision.

The paper investigates how primate posterior parietal cortex monitors trial outcomes during long-term learning, finding that outcome representations reorganize and evolve with network connectivity.

This study investigates how continuous flash suppression affects V1 neuron orientation responses in macaques, finding substantial suppression and implications for high-level visual processing.

The paper investigates computational constraints shaping the topological map of macaque V4, showing self-organizing principles can explain its structure and functional domains.

The paper investigates binocular combination in macaque V1 neurons using two-photon calcium imaging, finding ocular dominance-dependent suppression and enhancement of responses under monocular and binocular stimulation.

This paper presents a 40 MHz femtosecond laser repetition frequency divider that improves two-photon imaging quality in cortical tissue.

This study shows V1 neurons respond to second-order contrast-modulated stimuli and reveals adaptation effects suggesting both subcortical and cortical contributions to processing these stimuli.

The paper identifies clustered functional domains in V4 cortex for curve and corner selectivity using two-photon calcium imaging in macaques.

This study maps excitatory synaptic inputs on V1 neurons in awake macaques, revealing functional clustering and spatial distribution patterns of visual features.

The paper measures cell-specific orientation and spatial frequency responses in macaque V1 using two-photon calcium imaging and finds weak iso-frequency clusters and asymmetric tuning functions.

This study develops a method for long-term all-optical interrogation of cortical neurons in awake non-human primates using optogenetics and two-photon imaging.

This study evaluates CNN models for modeling V1 neuron responses to complex patterns, finding that thresholding nonlinearity and convolution are key factors in their superior performance.

This study uses two-photon imaging in awake monkeys to show that V1 superficial layer neurons exhibit super-sparse population codes, with only 0.5% responding strongly to any given image.
