How cortical circuits implement cortical computations: mouse visual cortex as a model

CM Niell, M Scanziani - Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2021 - annualreviews.org
The mouse, as a model organism to study the brain, gives us unprecedented experimental
access to the mammalian cerebral cortex. By determining the cortex's cellular composition …

Interactions between rodent visual and spatial systems during navigation

AB Saleem, L Busse - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
Many behaviours that are critical for animals to survive and thrive rely on spatial navigation.
Spatial navigation, in turn, relies on internal representations about one's spatial location …

Two distinct types of eye-head coupling in freely moving mice

AF Meyer, J O'Keefe, J Poort - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
Animals actively interact with their environment to gather sensory information. There is
conflicting evidence about how mice use vision to sample their environment. During head …

Hierarchical and nonhierarchical features of the mouse visual cortical network

RD D'Souza, Q Wang, W Ji, AM Meier… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Neocortical computations underlying vision are performed by a distributed network of
functionally specialized areas. Mouse visual cortex, a dense interareal network that exhibits …

Cell-type-specific binocular vision guides predation in mice

KP Johnson, MJ Fitzpatrick, L Zhao, B Wang… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Predators use vision to hunt, and hunting success is one of evolution's main selection
pressures. However, how viewing strategies and visual systems are adapted to predation is …

[HTML][HTML] Vision-dependent specification of cell types and function in the developing cortex

S Cheng, S Butrus, L Tan, R Xu, S Sagireddy… - Cell, 2022 - cell.com
The role of postnatal experience in sculpting cortical circuitry, while long appreciated, is
poorly understood at the level of cell types. We explore this in the mouse primary visual …

Visual pursuit behavior in mice maintains the pursued prey on the retinal region with least optic flow

CD Holmgren, P Stahr, DJ Wallace, KM Voit… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Mice have a large visual field that is constantly stabilized by vestibular ocular reflex (VOR)
driven eye rotations that counter head-rotations. While maintaining their extensive visual …

Mouse visual cortex contains a region of enhanced spatial resolution

EH van Beest, S Mukherjee, L Kirchberger… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The representation of space in mouse visual cortex was thought to be relatively uniform.
Here we reveal, using population receptive-field (pRF) mapping techniques, that mouse …

Sensory and behavioral components of neocortical signal flow in discrimination tasks with short-term memory

Y Gallero-Salas, S Han, Y Sych, FF Voigt, B Laurenczy… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
In the neocortex, each sensory modality engages distinct sensory areas that route
information to association areas. Where signal flow converges for maintaining information in …

Distributed and retinotopically asymmetric processing of coherent motion in mouse visual cortex

KK Sit, MJ Goard - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Perception of visual motion is important for a range of ethological behaviors in mammals. In
primates, specific visual cortical regions are specialized for processing of coherent visual …
