The paper identifies inter- and intrahemispheric sources of vestibular signals to V1, showing that the ipsilateral pulvinar and contralateral visual cortex provide head movement signals with specific directional biases.

The paper investigates how feature selectivity in mouse visual cortex arises from connectivity patterns, finding that random connections dominate over structured ones.

The paper investigates how optogenetic stimulation reshuffles firing rates in mouse and monkey V1 by analyzing neuronal responses and developing theoretical models.

The paper shows that networks of strongly coupled conductance-based neurons exhibit asynchronous irregular activity and broad firing rate distributions when synaptic efficacy is of order 1/log(K), maintained by a drift-diffusion balance rather than current fluctuations.

The paper investigates nonlinear responses in spiking neuron networks, showing nonlinearities exist at finite coupling and can be captured by rate models.

The paper tests inhibition-stabilized network (ISN) models in mouse cortex and finds evidence for ISN operation across multiple areas and states.

The paper shows that stronger touch stimuli recruit more distant mechano-electrical transduction channels in C. elegans, increasing touch response amplitude and kinetics.

This study develops a quantitative model to explain touch sensation in C. elegans by integrating tissue mechanics and neural responses to indentation stimuli.

The paper uses statistical physics to show that grid cell modularity optimizes spatial coverage in the brain.
