Learning from unexpected events in the neocortical microcircuit

Colleen J. Gillon, Jason E. Pina, Jérôme A. Lecoq, Ruweida Ahmed, Yazan N. Billeh, Shiella Caldejon, Peter A. Groblewski, Timothy M. Henley, India Kato, Eric Lee, Jennifer Luviano, Kyla D. Mace, Chelsea Nayan, Thuyanh V. Nguyen, Kat North, , Joel Zylberberg

The paper shows that cortical pyramidal neurons exhibit distinct unexpected event signals in somata and distal apical dendrites that change over days, suggesting a role in hierarchical computation.

VIP interneurons selectively enhance weak but behaviorally-relevant stimuli.

Daniel J. Millman, Gabriel Koch Ocker, Shiella Caldejon, India Kato, Josh D. Larkin, Eric Lee, Jennifer Luviano, Chelsea Nayan, Thuyanh V. Nguyen, Kat North, Sam Seid, Cassandra White, Jérôme A. Lecoq, R. Clay Reid, Michael A. Buice, Saskia E. J. de Vries

The paper shows VIP interneurons in mouse visual cortex have complementary contrast tuning to SST neurons and synergistically respond to visual motion and locomotion, enhancing behaviorally-relevant stimuli while maintaining network stability.
