SHIELD: Skull-shaped hemispheric implants enabling large-scale-electrophysiology datasets in the mouse brain

SHIELD enables large-scale electrophysiological recordings in mice by providing a skull-shaped implant for repeated multi-probe insertions across brain regions.

A whole-brain monosynaptic input connectome to neuron classes in mouse visual cortex

The paper maps brain-wide monosynaptic inputs to specific neuron classes in mouse visual cortex using an improved rabies virus tracing strategy and identifies connectivity patterns within and between visual areas.

A standardized non-visual behavioral event is broadcasted homogeneously across cortical visual areas without modulating visual responses

The paper investigates how a standardized non-visual motor behavior is represented in visual cortex areas and finds it elicits consistent neural responses independent of visual processing.

A survey of spiking activity reveals a functional hierarchy of mouse corticothalamic visual areas

The paper presents a dataset and analysis of spiking activity across multiple mouse visual areas, revealing that functional connectivity mirrors anatomical hierarchy.

A large-scale, standardized physiological survey reveals higher order coding throughout the mouse visual cortex

The paper presents a large-scale dataset of neural activity in the mouse visual cortex and shows that responses to different stimuli are largely independent, suggesting multi-layer hierarchical computation.

The organization of intracortical connections by layer and cell class in the mouse brain

The paper expands the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas by analyzing intracortical connections at the layer and cell class level, revealing modular organization and distinct projection patterns.
