The neocortex contains a multitude of cell types that are segregated into layers and
functionally distinct areas. To investigate the diversity of cell types across the mouse …

Multi-electrode arrays such as Neuropixels probes enable electrophysiological recordings
from large populations of single neurons with high temporal resolution. By using such …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus is the exclusive relay of retinal
information en route to the visual cortex. Although much of our understanding about dLGN …

Using multi-color visible lights for independent optogenetic manipulation of multiple
neuronal populations offers the ability for sophisticated brain functions and behavior …

Structural rules underlying functional properties of cortical circuits are poorly understood. To
explore these rules systematically, we integrated information from extensive literature …

How a sensory stimulus is processed and perceived depends on the surrounding sensory
scene. In the visual cortex, contextual signals can be conveyed by an extensive network of …

Higher-order thalamic nuclei, such as the visual pulvinar, play essential roles in cortical
function by connecting functionally related cortical and subcortical brain regions. A coherent …

Neocortical computations underlying vision are performed by a distributed network of
functionally specialized areas. Mouse visual cortex, a dense interareal network that exhibits …

We analyze visual processing capabilities of a large-scale model for area V1 that arguably
provides the most comprehensive accumulation of anatomical and neurophysiological data …

Visual functions are reviewed that coincide with conscious as opposed to unconscious
vision. Four stages of vision are identified, going from the fully invisible, to subjectively …
