The resulting data set includes 200,000 cells and 523 million connections in the primary visual cortex and surrounding areas of a mouse. A unique contribution of the MICrONS project is that it ...

Most scientists agree that categorizing an object - like thinking of a carrot as either a root vegetable or a party snack - ...

Our brain doesn't passively receive visual input—it actively orchestrates a symphony of neural oscillations to process the complex, dynamic scenes we see in everyday life.

“We therefore ask the following question: Is a primary sensory region like the visual cortex, where all environmental objects ...

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

During this stage, the initial organization of cortical networks ... development of neural circuits in the mammal brain's visual cortex. Their paper, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveils ...
