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 …

Visual motion on the retina activates a cohort of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). This
population activity encodes multiple streams of information extracted by parallel retinal …

Microglia, the resident phagocytes of the retina, are believed to influence the development of
retinopathy, but their exact contributions to vascular integrity and neuronal loss are …

Time courses of neural responses underlie real-time sensory processing and perception.
How these temporal dynamics change may be fundamental to how sensory systems adapt …

Top-down modulation of visual processing is mediated in part by direct prefrontal to visual
cortical projections. Here, we show that the mouse cingulate cortex (Cg) regulates visual …

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 …

Selective attention modulates neuronal activity in multiple brain regions, but the origins of
attention signals remain unclear. We show that, during a visual task requiring spatial …

A key feature of advanced motion processing in the primate dorsal stream is the existence of
pattern cells—specialized cortical neurons that integrate local motion signals into pattern …

The human visual cortex is a heterogeneous entity that has multiple subregions showing
substantial variability in their functions and connections. We aimed to identify genes …

Contagious itch behavior informs conspecifics of adverse environment and is crucial for the
survival of social animals. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and its receptor (GRPR) in the …
