The cerebral cortex, with its conserved 6-layer structure, has inspired many unifying models
of function. However, recent comparative studies of primary visual cortex have revealed …

It has been postulated that homeostatic mechanisms maintain stable circuit function by keeping
neuronal firing within a set point range, but such firing rate homeostasis has never been …

Neurons in sensory cortex integrate multiple influences to parse objects and support perception.
Across multiple cortical areas, integration is characterized by two neuronal response …

Homeostatic mechanisms stabilize neural circuit function by keeping firing rates within a set-point
range, but whether this process is gated by brain state is unknown. Here, we …

The onset of vision occurs when neural circuits in the visual cortex are immature, lacking both
the full complement of connections 1 , 2 and the response selectivity that defines functional …

The dorsolateral striatum (DLS) is implicated in habit formation. However, the DLS circuit
mechanisms underlying habit remain unclear. A key role for DLS is to transform sensorimotor …

Mutations in Shank3 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorders and neural
circuit changes in several brain areas, but the cellular mechanisms that underlie these defects …
