This study investigates whether short-term depression at thalamocortical synapses contributes to divisive normalization in mouse V1, finding no effect on contrast response or cross-orientation suppression.

The study shows that the direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia have opposing effects on perceptual decisions and cortical activity in mice during visual detection and working memory tasks.

This study shows that the superior colliculus in mice is causally involved in figure detection based on contrast, orientation, and phase, with stronger neural responses to figure elements than background elements.

ZETA is a parameter-free statistical test for neuronal responsiveness that includes more cells with fewer false positives compared to existing methods.
