The paper shows that thalamic inhibition aligns sensory coding with learned value in mice, reorganizing population activity and affecting behavior.

The paper identifies flexible network states in auditory thalamus that predict task outcomes during cross-modal learning in mice.

The paper shows that simultaneous thermal and tactile stimuli enhance perception in mouse forepaw primary somatosensory cortex through changes in neuronal response dynamics and recruitment of silent neurons.

This study identifies sensory Schwann cells as critical for mechanosensation, showing they regulate touch and mechanical nociception.

This study shows that USH2A is essential for vibration sensing in mice and humans by being expressed in Meissner corpuscle end-organs, not in sensory neurons.

The paper shows mice can discriminate warm temperatures without dedicated thermoreceptors, using polymodal C-fibers and central circuits that integrate inputs from multiple afferents.
