Probing circuit mechanisms of feature selectivity in mouse visual cortex through synaptic-resolution connectomics

The paper investigates how feature selectivity in mouse visual cortex arises from connectivity patterns, finding that random connections dominate over structured ones.

Structural influences on synaptic plasticity: the role of presynaptic connectivity in the emergence of E/I co-tuning

This study shows that structured presynaptic connectivity can enable co-tuning of excitation and inhibition in neurons despite noisy, correlated inputs.

Effective excitability captures network dynamics across development and phenotypes

The paper develops a dynamical system model to characterize in vitro neuronal network bursting dynamics across development and cell types, finding that effective excitability reliably captures these differences.
