Mechanisms of orientation selectivity in the primary visual cortex

NJ Priebe - Annual review of vision science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The mechanisms underlying the emergence of orientation selectivity in the visual cortex
have been, and continue to be, the subjects of intense scrutiny. Orientation selectivity …

Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons linearly transform cortical responses to visual stimuli

BV Atallah, W Bruns, M Carandini, M Scanziani - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
The response of cortical neurons to a sensory stimulus is shaped by the network in which
they are embedded. Here we establish a role of parvalbumin (PV)-expressing cells, a large …

Broadly tuned response properties of diverse inhibitory neuron subtypes in mouse visual cortex

AM Kerlin, ML Andermann, VK Berezovskii, RC Reid - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Different subtypes of GABAergic neurons in sensory cortex exhibit diverse morphology,
histochemical markers, and patterns of connectivity. These subtypes likely play distinct roles …

Orientation selectivity and the functional clustering of synaptic inputs in primary visual cortex

DE Wilson, DE Whitney, B Scholl, D Fitzpatrick - Nature neuroscience, 2016 - nature.com
The majority of neurons in primary visual cortex are tuned for stimulus orientation, but the
factors that account for the range of orientation selectivities exhibited by cortical neurons …

Cortical state determines global variability and correlations in visual cortex

ML Schölvinck, AB Saleem, A Benucci… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The response of neurons in sensory cortex to repeated stimulus presentations is highly
variable. To investigate the nature of this variability, we compared the spike activity of …

The stimulus selectivity and connectivity of layer six principal cells reveals cortical microcircuits underlying visual processing

M Vélez-Fort, CV Rousseau, CJ Niedworok… - Neuron, 2014 - cell.com
Sensory computations performed in the neocortex involve layer six (L6) cortico-cortical (CC)
and cortico-thalamic (CT) signaling pathways. Developing an understanding of the …

Parallel processing of visual space by neighboring neurons in mouse visual cortex

SL Smith, M Häusser - Nature neuroscience, 2010 - nature.com
Visual cortex shows smooth retinotopic organization on the macroscopic scale, but it is
unknown how receptive fields are organized at the level of neighboring neurons. This …

Retinal origin of orientation maps in visual cortex

SB Paik, DL Ringach - Nature neuroscience, 2011 - nature.com
The orientation map is a hallmark of primary visual cortex in higher mammals. It is not yet
known how orientation maps develop, what function they have in visual processing and why …
