Stimulus onset quenches neural variability: a widespread cortical phenomenon
Mark M. Churchland,Byron M. Yu,Byron M. Yu,John P. Cunningham,Leo P. Sugrue,Leo P. Sugrue,Marlene R. Cohen,Marlene R. Cohen,Greg S. Corrado,Greg S. Corrado,William T. Newsome,William T. Newsome,Andrew M. Clark,Paymon Hosseini,Benjamin B. Scott,David C. Bradley,Matthew A. Smith,Adam Kohn,Adam Kohn,J. Anthony Movshon,Katherine M. Armstrong,Tirin Moore,Steve W. C. Chang,Lawrence H. Snyder,Stephen G. Lisberger,Nicholas J. Priebe,Ian M. Finn,David Ferster,Stephen I. Ryu,Gopal Santhanam,Maneesh Sahani,Krishna V. Shenoy +31 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured neural variability in 13 extracellularly recorded datasets and one intra-cellularly recorded dataset from seven areas spanning the four cortical lobes in monkeys and cats and found that stimulus onset caused a decline in neural variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of tissue-specific transgenic birds with lentiviral vectors
Benjamin B. Scott,Carlos Lois +1 more
TL;DR: A simple and effective method for producing transgenic birds that express GFP driven by the human synapsin gene I promoter is described and visualization of individual axons and dendrites of neurons in vivo by intrinsic GFP fluorescence is allowed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fronto-parietal Cortical Circuits Encode Accumulated Evidence with a Diversity of Timescales
Benjamin B. Scott,Christine M. Constantinople,Athena Akrami,Timothy D. Hanks,Carlos D. Brody,Carlos D. Brody,David W. Tank +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that heterogeneous, often transient sensory responses distributed across the fronto-parietal cortex may support working memory on behavioral timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging Cortical Dynamics in GCaMP Transgenic Rats with a Head-Mounted Widefield Macroscope.
Benjamin B. Scott,Stephan Y. Thiberge,Caiying Guo,D. Gowanlock R. Tervo,Carlos D. Brody,Alla Y. Karpova,David W. Tank +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a head-mounted widefield macroscope was developed to image large-scale cortical dynamics in rats during natural behavior, which can provide a 7.8 × 4 mm field of view and dual illumination paths for both fluorescence and hemodynamic correction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic songbirds offer an opportunity to develop a genetic model for vocal learning
TL;DR: An HIV-based lentivirus was injected into the very early embryo to target the primordial germline cells that later give rise to sperm and eggs and produced germline transgenic hatchlings that expressed the GFP protein (F1).
