Successful navigation through the world requires accurate estimation of one's own speed. To
derive this estimate, animals integrate visual speed gauged from optic flow and run speed …

Growing evidence indicates that responses in sensory cortex are modulated by factors
beyond direct sensory stimulation [1–8]. In primary visual cortex (V1), for instance, responses …

During navigation, rodents continually sample the environment with their whiskers. How
locomotion modulates neuronal activity in somatosensory cortex, and how it is integrated with …

The mouse is becoming a key species for research on the neural circuits of the early visual
system. To relate such circuits to perception, one must measure visually guided behavior and …

Over the last decade virtual reality (VR) setups for rodents have been developed and utilized
to investigate the neural foundations of behavior. Such VR systems became very popular …

Primary visual cortex exhibits two types of gamma rhythm: broadband activity in the 30–90
Hz range and a narrowband oscillation seen in mice at frequencies close to 60 Hz. We …

The hippocampal dentate gyrus is critically involved in learning and memory. However,
methods for imaging the activity of its principal neurons, the dentate gyrus granule cells, are …

Gain modulation of neuronal responses is widely observed in the cerebral cortex of both
anesthetized and behaving animals. Does this multiplicative effect on neuronal tuning curves …

Motivation: As the scientific curiosity in genome studies shifts toward identification of functions
of the genomes in large scale, data produced about cellular processes at molecular level …

Neuronal population activity in the hippocampal CA3 subfield is implicated in cognitive brain
functions such as memory processing and spatial navigation. However, because of its deep …
