Adaptation maintains population homeostasis in primary visual cortex.
Benucci, A; Saleem, AB; Carandini, M (2013-06)Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation controls the responsiveness of ... -
Coding of stimulus sequences by population responses in visual cortex.
Benucci, A; Ringach, DL; Carandini, M (2009-10)Neuronal populations in sensory cortex represent time-changing sensory input through a spatiotemporal code. What are the rules that govern this code? We measured membrane potentials and spikes from neuronal populations in ... -
Restoration of vision after transplantation of photoreceptors.
Pearson, RA; Barber, AC; Rizzi, M; Hippert, C; Xue, T; West, EL; Duran, Y; Smith, AJ; Chuang, JZ; Azam, SA (2012-05-03)Cell transplantation is a potential strategy for treating blindness caused by the loss of photoreceptors. Although transplanted rod-precursor cells are able to migrate into the adult retina and differentiate to acquire the ... -
Standing waves and traveling waves distinguish two circuits in visual cortex.
Benucci, A; Frazor, RA; Carandini, M (2007-07-05)The visual cortex represents stimuli through the activity of neuronal populations. We measured the evolution of this activity in space and time by imaging voltage-sensitive dyes in cat area V1. Contrast-reversing stimuli ... -
Transgenic mice for intersectional targeting of neural sensors and effectors with high specificity and performance.
Madisen, L; Garner, AR; Shimaoka, D; Chuong, AS; Klapoetke, NC; Li, L; van der Bourg, A; Niino, Y; Egolf, L; Monetti, C (2015-03-04)An increasingly powerful approach for studying brain circuits relies on targeting genetically encoded sensors and effectors to specific cell types. However, current approaches for this are still limited in functionality ...
