The secret life of predictive brains: what's spontaneous activity for?

G Pezzulo, M Zorzi, M Corbetta - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2021 - cell.com
Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …

Arousal modulates retinal output

S Schröder, NA Steinmetz, M Krumin, M Pachitariu… - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
At various stages of the visual system, visual responses are modulated by arousal. Here, we
find that in mice this modulation operates as early as in the first synapse from the retina and …
