Rapid spatial cognition in mice, with and without neocortex and hippocampus

Jieyu Zheng, Rogério Guimarães, Zeynep Turan…·Markus Meister

Naive mice learn a 9-turn route in a reconfigurable 3D maze within about 20 rewards; mutants lacking neocortex and hippocampus also learn, remember and generalize, though early exploration is inefficient.

Functional Architecture of Motion Direction in the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Ya-tang Li, Zeynep Turan, Markus Meister

The paper investigates motion direction processing in the mouse superior colliculus and finds large regions with neurons preferring the same motion direction, showing a locally biased representation unlike other visual areas.
