Cortical gain regulation allows neurons to respond adaptively to changing inputs. Neural
gain is modulated by internal and external influences, including attentional and arousal …

Highlights•Covert attention improves sensory processing in many visual tasks.•Covert
attention also alters the appearance of visual information.•Many spatial and temporal …

Recent studies have shown that neuronal representations gradually change over time
despite no changes in the stimulus, environment, or behavior. However, such …

Imaging large-population, single-cell fluorescent dynamics in freely behaving animals larger
than mice remains a key endeavor of neuroscience. We present a large-field-of-view open …

Neurons in mouse primary visual cortex (V1) are selective for particular properties of visual
stimuli. Locomotion causes a change in cortical state that leaves their selectivity unchanged …

Organisms process sensory information in the context of their own moving bodies, an idea
referred to as embodiment. This idea is important for developmental neuroscience, robotics …

While sensory representations in the brain depend on context, it remains unclear how such
modulations are implemented at the biophysical level, and how processing layers further in …

Fluorescence calcium imaging using a range of microscopy approaches, such as two-
photon excitation or head-mounted “miniscopes,” is one of the preferred methods to record …

To uncover the circuit-level alterations that underlie atypical sensory processing associated
with autism, we adopted a symptom-to-circuit approach in the Fmr1-knockout (Fmr1–/–) …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain area where visual, auditory and somatosensory
information are integrated to initiate motor commands. The SC plays a central role in visual …
