Widespread Receptive Field Remapping in Early Visual Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Sachira Denagamage, Mitchell P Morton and Anirvan Nandy | Summary: Our eyes are in constant motion, yet we perceive the visual world as being stable. Predictive remapping of receptive fields is thought to be one of the critical mechanisms for enforcing perceptual stability during eye movements. While receptive field […]

Ectopic Reconstitution of a Spine-Apparatus Like Structure Provides Insight into Mechanisms Underlying Its Formation

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Hanieh Falahati, Yumei Wu and Pietro De Camill | Summary: Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous cellular endomembrane network that displays focal specializations. Most notable examples of such specializations include the spine apparatus of neuronal dendrites, and the cisternal organelle of axonal initial segments. Both organelles […]

Adaptation to visual sparsity enhances responses to infrequent stimuli

Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Tong Gou, Catherine A Matulis and Damon A Clark | Summary: Sensory systems adapt their response properties to the statistics of their inputs. For instance, visual systems adapt to low-order statistics like mean and variance to encode the stimulus efficiently or to facilitate specific downstream computations. However, it remains […]

Non-uniform contextual interactions in the visual cortex place fundamental limits on spatial vision

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Mitchell P Morton, Sachira Denagamage, Nyomi V Hudson and Anirvan S Nandy | Summary: A prevailing assumption in our understanding of how neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) integrate contextual information is that such processes are spatially uniform. Conversely, perceptual phenomena such as visual crowding, the impaired ability […]

Developmental trajectory of cortical somatostatin interneuron function

Kavli Affiliate: Michael J Higley | Authors: Alex Wang, Katie A. Ferguson, Jyoti Gupta, Michael J. Higley and Jessica A. Cardin | Summary: GABAergic inhibition is critical to the proper development of neocortical circuits. However, GABAergic interneurons are highly diverse and the developmental roles of distinct inhibitory subpopulations remain largely unclear. Dendrite-targeting, somatostatin-expressing interneurons (SST-INs) […]
