Diversity in spatial frequency, temporal frequency, and speed tuning across mouse visual cortical areas and layers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25404
Abstract: The mouse visual system consists of several visual cortical areas thought to be specialized for different visual features and/or tasks. Previous studies have revealed differences between primary visual cortex (V1) and other higher visual areas,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23740
Abstract: Visually stressful striped patterns with a spatial frequency (SF) of around 3 cycles per degree (cpd) can induce perceptual illusions/distortions and visual discomfort in most people, headaches in patients with migraine, and seizures in patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-024-12741-2
Abstract: Visual hallucinations in individuals following sight loss (Charles Bonnet syndrome; CBS) have been posited to arise because of spontaneous, compensatory, neural activity in the visual cortex following sensory input loss from the eyes—known as deafferentation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00417-017-3752-4
Abstract: BackgroundIt is known that diabetic patients have changes in cortical morphometry as compared to controls, but it remains to be clarified whether the visual cortex is a disease target, even when diabetes complications such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12264-019-00445-x
Abstract: In the visual pathway, optic nerve (ON) injury may cause secondary degeneration of neurons in distal regions, such as the visual cortex. However, the role of the neuroinflammatory response in regulating secondary impairment in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-61171-9
Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been shown to predict neural responses in primary visual cortex (V1) better than classical models. However, this performance often comes at the expense of simplicity and interpretability. Here we introduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-024-06719-z
Abstract: The primate including the human hippocampus implicated in episodic memory and navigation represents a spatial view, very different from the place representations in rodents. To understand this system in humans, and the computations performed, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1802798115
Abstract: Significance Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) holds promise as a tool for noninvasively facilitating plastic changes in cortical networks. However, highly resolved visualization of its modulatory effects remains elusive because current neuroimaging techniques applicable in humans… read more here.
