Learning enhances sensory and multiple non-sensory representations in primary visual cortex
We determined how learning modifies neural representations in primary visual cortex (V1)
during acquisition of a visually guided behavioral task. We imaged the activity of the same …

Explicit information for category-orthogonal object properties increases along the ventral stream
Extensive research has revealed that the ventral visual stream hierarchically builds a robust
representation for supporting visual object categorization tasks. We systematically explored …

Origins of choice-related activity in mouse somatosensory cortex
During perceptual decisions about faint or ambiguous sensory stimuli, even identical stimuli
can produce different choices. Spike trains from sensory cortex neurons can predict trial-to …

Feedback determines the structure of correlated variability in primary visual cortex
AG Bondy, RM Haefner, BG Cumming - Nature neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com
The variable responses of sensory neurons tend to be weakly correlated (spike-count
correlation, r sc). This is widely thought to reflect noise in shared afferents, in which case r sc …

Neuronal variability reflects probabilistic inference tuned to natural image statistics
Neuronal activity in sensory cortex fluctuates over time and across repetitions of the same
input. This variability is often considered detrimental to neural coding. The theory of neural …

Causal contribution of primate auditory cortex to auditory perceptual decision-making
Auditory perceptual decisions are thought to be mediated by the ventral auditory pathway.
However, the specific and causal contributions of different brain regions in this pathway …

Dissociating sensory from decision processes in human perceptual decision making
P Mostert, P Kok, FP de Lange - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
A key question within systems neuroscience is how the brain translates physical stimulation
into a behavioral response: perceptual decision making. To answer this question, it is …

Serotonin decreases the gain of visual responses in awake macaque V1
Serotonin, an important neuromodulator in the brain, is implicated in affective and cognitive
functions. However, its role even for basic cortical processes is controversial. For example …
