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.

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