On the surface, the two hemispheres of vertebrate brains look almost perfectly symmetrical,
but several motor, sensory, and cognitive systems show a deeply lateralized organization …

Summary Layer 1 (L1) of the neocortex acts as a nexus for the collection and processing of
widespread information. By integrating ascending inputs with extensive top-down activity …

To investigate which activity patterns in sensory cortex are relevant for perceptual decision-
making, we combined two-photon calcium imaging and targeted two-photon optogenetics to …

The definition of the visual cortex is primarily based on the evidence that lesions of this area
impair visual perception. However, this does not exclude that the visual cortex may process …

Sensory cortical areas are organized into topographic maps representing the sensory
epithelium. Interareal projections typically connect topographically matched subregions …

Tactile sensation and vision are often both utilized for the exploration of objects that are
within reach though it is not known whether or how these two distinct sensory systems …

Attention is often viewed as a mental spotlight, which can be scaled like a zoom lens at
specific spatial locations and features a center-surround gradient. Here, we demonstrate a …

In an ever-changing visual world, animals' survival depends on their ability to perceive and
respond to rapidly changing motion cues. The primary visual cortex (V1) is at the forefront of …

Interactions between feedback connections from higher cortical areas and local horizontal
connections within primary visual cortex (V1) were shown to play a role in contextual …
