The paper investigates speed-tuned neurons in the primary visual cortex of carnivores, finding clustered 'hot spots' of high speed selectivity within V1.

The paper investigates how primary visual cortex encodes motion features, finding that preferred direction reverses with stimulus speed and motion can be decoded from V1 responses.

This study identifies endocannabinoid-mediated long-term potentiation (eCB-LTP) as a mechanism for one-shot learning in the dorsal striatum using a novel behavioral test and computational modeling.

The paper models how changes in inhibitory and excitatory synaptic timing drive a sudden switch in cortical network dynamics during development.

The paper identifies a human segmentation clock by showing human PSM cells exhibit Notch and YAP-dependent oscillations of HES7 with a 5-hour period.

The paper models and experimentally validates a mechanism where symmetry breaking initiates a directional and sequential front of competence in bird plumage patterning.

The paper shows opto-activation of cortical somatostatin interneurons alleviates motor symptoms in a Parkinson's mouse model.
