Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Visual Responses by Behavioral State in Mouse Visual Cortex
TL;DR: The response properties of neurons in primary visual cortex of awake mice that were allowed to run on a freely rotating spherical treadmill with their heads fixed demonstrated powerful cell-type-specific modulation of visual processing by behavioral state in awake mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Selective Receptive Fields in Mouse Visual Cortex
TL;DR: A quantitative description of receptive field properties should facilitate the use of mouse visual cortex as a system to address longstanding questions of visual neuroscience and cortical processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo imaging of synapse formation on a growing dendritic arbor
TL;DR: A 'synaptotropic model' in which synapse formation can direct dendrite arborization is supported, in which almost all synapses form initially on newly extended dendritic filopodia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse Visual Features Encoded in Mouse Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
TL;DR: The repertoire of visual features represented in the LGN of mouse, an emerging model for visual processing, is defined and a substantial population with more selective coding properties, including direction and orientation selectivity, as well as neurons that signal absence of contrast in a visual scene are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
What can mice tell us about how vision works
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding the mouse visual system at the anatomical, receptive field and perceptual level are discussed, focusing on the opportunities and constraints those features provide toward the goal of understanding how vision works.
