This study shows mice use active sensing strategies to resolve visual uncertainty in a virtual reality task, selecting informative views based on visual information availability.

Functionally similar neurons in mouse visual cortex connect preferentially across layers and areas, including feedback, and feature tuning, not receptive-field position, predicts synapses beyond axon-dendrite proximity.

The paper uses CNNs to analyze contextual modulation in visual cortex by synthesizing surround patterns, finding that pattern completion enhances responses while disruption suppresses them, consistent across mice and macaques.
