Acquisition of new skills has the potential to disturb existing network function. To directly assess whether previously acquired cortical function is altered during learning, mice were trained in an abstract task in which selected activity patterns were
The largest targets of retinal input in mammals are the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), a relay to the primary visual cortex (V1), and the superior colliculus. V1 innervates and influences the superior colliculus. Here, we find that, in turn, s
While the shared activity of thevisual cortexenables our visual experience, it is comprised of multiple areas, each with their own unique connectivity and function. Understanding the mode of development can lead to inferences on which visual abilities would be likely to appear first. It was traditi...

Neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) display substantial orientation selectivity even in species where V1 lacks an orientation map, such as in mice and rats. The mechanism underlying orientation selectivity in V1 with such a salt-and-pepper organization is unknown; it is unclear whether a conn...
Stereopsis is a popular clinical measure of binocular function in amblyopia. Here, we found that the interocular difference in AULCSF and stereopsis but not the interocular balance point and interocular visual acuity difference was most correlated with the SSVEP intermodulation components. We speculate ...
In Experiment 1, the amplitude of the visual evoked M100 component was increased for unexpected items, but only when word category was overtly marked by a function morpheme. Dipole modeling localized the generator of this effect to the occipital cortex. Experiment 2 replicated the main results of...
Rate coherence and event coherence in the visual cortex: a neuronal model of object recognition We propose a function-oriented model of the visual cortex. The model addresses an essential task of the visual system: to detect and represent objects. The... H Neven,A Aertsen - 《Biological ...
The neural mechanisms of visual perceptual learning (VPL) remain unclear. Previously we found that activation in the primary visual cortex (V1) increased in the early encoding phase of training, but returned to baseline levels in the later retention phase. To examine neural changes during the ret...
K. Representation of multiple, independent categories in the primate prefrontal cortex. Neuron 66, 796–807 (2010). In the prefrontal cortex, as in early visual areas, the perceptual task alters neuronal function. In a categorization task, changing the categorical boundary alters the stimulus ...
