This study examines neural responses in mouse visual cortex to natural and artificial visual stimuli, finding increased activity in response to natural mismatches but no change in dendritic-somatic coupling.

This study shows psilocybin disrupts visual change detection by altering cortical dynamics, particularly in SST interneurons, leading to increased surprise signals.

The paper presents a database of spiking activity in the mouse visual system during an image change detection task, revealing task-specific coding patterns across brain regions.

The paper develops a cross-species enhancer-AAV toolkit for targeting specific cell types in the basal ganglia across species, validated in mouse and macaque.

The paper identifies a sparse set of neurons in the mouse visual cortex that mediate illusory contour inference through recurrent pattern completion.

The paper presents an enhancer AAV toolbox for targeting and perturbing striatal cell types and circuits in mice, with validated specificity and cross-species applicability.

This study challenges hierarchical predictive coding models by showing that prediction error responses in visual cortex do not involve feedforward processing and that predictive suppression is not mediated by inhibitory interneurons.

SHIELD enables large-scale electrophysiological recordings in mice by providing a skull-shaped implant for repeated multi-probe insertions across brain regions.

The paper identifies diverse functional neuron types in the visual cortex that process novel and familiar stimuli in mice.
