Unsupervised experience with temporal continuity of the visual environment is causally involved in the development of V1 complex cells

G Matteucci, D Zoccolan - Science Advances, 2020 - science.org
Unsupervised adaptation to the spatiotemporal statistics of visual experience is a key
computational principle that has long been assumed to govern postnatal development of visual …

Nonlinear processing of shape information in rat lateral extrastriate cortex

G Matteucci, RB Marotti, M Riggi… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
In rodents, the progression of extrastriate areas located laterally to primary visual cortex (V1)
has been assigned to a putative object-processing pathway (homologous to the primate …

[PDF][PDF] Cortical sensory processing across motivational states during goal-directed behavior

G Matteucci, M Guyoton, JM Mayrhofer, M Auffret… - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Behavioral states can influence performance of goal-directed sensorimotor tasks. Yet, it is
unclear how altered neuronal sensory representations in these states relate to task …

Truly pattern: Nonlinear integration of motion signals is required to account for the responses of pattern cells in rat visual cortex

G Matteucci, R Bellacosa Marotti, B Zattera… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
A key feature of advanced motion processing in the primate dorsal stream is the existence
of pattern cells—specialized cortical neurons that integrate local motion signals into pattern-…

[HTML][HTML] Unsupervised learning of mid-level visual representations

G Matteucci, E Piasini, D Zoccolan - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2024 - Elsevier
Recently, a confluence between trends in neuroscience and machine learning has brought
a renewed focus on unsupervised learning, where sensory processing systems learn to …

[HTML][HTML] Rats spontaneously perceive global motion direction of drifting plaids

G Matteucci, B Zattera, R Bellacosa Marotti… - PLoS Computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Computing global motion direction of extended visual objects is a hallmark of primate high-level
vision. Although neurons selective for global motion have also been found in mouse …

Emergence of neocortical function in heterotopic neurons

…, D Suchkov, A Fortoul, S Fievre, G Matteucci… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Brains come in various sizes and shapes, yet how neuronal position constrains the type of
circuits that they can form remains largely unknown. The spatial layout of anatomical …

Cortical circuits for goal-directed cross-modal transfer learning

M Guyoton, G Matteucci, CG Foucher, S El-Boustani - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
In an environment full of complex multisensory stimuli, flexible and effective behaviors rely
on our ability to transfer learned associations across sensory modalities. Here we explored …

A template-matching algorithm for laminar identification of cortical recording sites from evoked response potentials

G Matteucci, M Riggi, D Zoccolan - J Neurophysiol, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
In recent years, the advent of the so-called silicon probes has made it possible to 26
homogeneously sample spikes and local field potentials (LFPs) from a regular grid of cortical 27 …
