Abstract: While light can affect emotional and cognitive processes of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), no light-encoding was hitherto identified in this region. Here, extracellular recordings in awake mice revealed that over half of studied mPFC… read more here.

Abstract: Animals in the natural world constantly encounter geometrically complex landscapes. Successful navigation requires that they understand geometric features of these landscapes, including boundaries, landmarks, corners and curved areas, all of which collectively define the geometry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2118705119
Abstract: Significance Face neurons, which fire more strongly in response to images of faces than to other objects, are a paradigmatic example of object selectivity in the visual cortex. We asked whether such neurons represent the… read more here.
