DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.12.096
Abstract: The cortical layers define the architecture of the gray matter and its neuroanatomical regions and are essential for brain function. Abnormalities in cortical layer development, growth patterns, organization, or size can affect brain physiology and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2017.11.004
Abstract: Visual cortical areas are interconnected via layer-specific feedforward and feedback projections. Such intricate connections are thought to be essential for parsing complex visual images, but the synergy among different layers in different cortical areas remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.10.032
Abstract: Understanding how cortical activity generates sensory perceptions requires a detailed dissection of the function of cortical layers. Despite our relatively extensive knowledge of their anatomy and wiring, we have a limited grasp of what each… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-08179-6
Abstract: Two-photon microscopy is used to image neuronal activity, but has severe limitations for studying deeper cortical layers. Here, we developed a custom three-photon microscope optimized to image a vertical column of the cerebral cortex > 1 mm in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-09181-6
Abstract: NMDA-dependent Hebbian learning drives neuronal plasticity in different cortical areas, and across species. In the primary somatosensory cortex (S-I), Hebbian learning is induced via the persistent low-rate afferent stimulation of a small area of skin.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/ol.44.005037
Abstract: We report the use of an electrically tunable lens (ETL) in a 1.3 μm spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) system to overcome the depth of focus (DOF) limitation in conventional OCT systems for OCT angiography (OCTA)… read more here.
