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 …

Animals sense the environment through pathways that link sensory organs to the brain. In
the visual system, these feedforward pathways define the classical feedforward receptive …

The segregation of figures from the background is an important step in visual perception. In
primary visual cortex, figures evoke stronger activity than backgrounds during a delayed …

Context guides perception by influencing stimulus saliency. Accordingly, in visual cortex,
responses to a stimulus are modulated by context, the visual scene surrounding the …

Neocortical computations underlying vision are performed by a distributed network of
functionally specialized areas. Mouse visual cortex, a dense interareal network that exhibits …

Cortical parallel processing streams segregate many diverse features of a sensory scene.
However, some features are distributed across streams, begging the question of whether …

En route from the retina to the cortex, visual information passes through the dorsolateral
geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus, where extensive corticothalamic (CT) feedback …

Gamma oscillation (GAMMA) in the local field potential (LFP) is a synchronized activity
commonly found in many brain regions, and it has been thought as a functional signature of …

Early visual areas are retinotopically organized in human and non-human primates.
Population receptive field (pRF) size increases with eccentricity and from lower-to higher …

Spatial integration of visual information is an important function in the brain. However, neural
computation for spatial integration in the visual cortex remains unclear. In this study, we …
