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.

The paper shows that moving visual stimuli elicit topographic and directional responses in most entorhinal neurons, revealing visual input's role in shaping their activity.

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

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 enhancers for spinal motor neurons and develops AAV vectors to target these cells in rodents and macaques, enabling functional studies and potential therapeutic applications.

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.

The paper challenges the conventional view of mouse higher visual cortex by proposing a unified-V2 hypothesis and presents a dataset for testing alternative models.
