This study shows that mice can generalize sensorimotor task rules between touch and vision using abstract representations of peri-personal space in the cortex, identifying a specific dorsal stream area as critical for this ability.

This study shows that heterotopic neurons in EmlJ knockout mice retain functional properties similar to neocortical neurons despite their abnormal location.

This study shows that pattern cells in rat visual cortex use nonlinear integration of motion signals, similar to primate models, suggesting shared cortical mechanisms.

This study investigates whether rats can perceive global motion direction of drifting plaids by comparing their responses to gratings and plaids as prime stimuli.

The paper introduces an automated template-matching algorithm to determine the laminar location and depth of cortical recording sites from evoked response potentials, achieving 79 µm depth accuracy and 76% laminar accuracy.

This study shows that passive exposure to temporally continuous visual inputs during early postnatal life is essential for normal development of complex cells in rat V1.

The paper investigates how shape information is processed in rat lateral extrastriate cortex, finding nonlinear computations similar to primate ventral stream mechanisms.
