Cortical layer-dependent signaling in cognition: Three computational modes of the canonical circuit

Y Miyashita - Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The cerebral cortex performs computations via numerous six-layer modules. The operational
dynamics of these modules were studied primarily in early sensory cortices using bottom-up …

Anatomy and physiology of macaque visual cortical areas V1, V2, and V5/MT: bases for biologically realistic models

S Vanni, H Hokkanen, F Werner, A Angelucci - Cerebral Cortex, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The cerebral cortex of primates encompasses multiple anatomically and physiologically

Top-down feedback controls spatial summation and response amplitude in primate visual cortex

L Nurminen, S Merlin, M Bijanzadeh, F Federer… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Sensory information travels along feedforward connections through a hierarchy of cortical

Gamma oscillation (GAMMA) in the local field potential (LFP) is a synchronized activity
commonly found in many brain regions, and it has been thought as a functional signature of …

Columnar processing of border ownership in primate visual cortex

TP Franken, JH Reynolds - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
To understand a visual scene, the brain segregates figures from background by assigning
borders to foreground objects. Neurons in primate visual cortex encode which object owns a …
