However, such structures had not yet been detected in the visual cortex of many smaller animals, such as mice ... It also makes it possible to study the function of the cortical column in the mouse ...

This study reports clusters of ipsilateral eye preferring neurons in layer 4 of mouse visual cortex, extending into layer 2/3 and upper layer 5. This column-like pattern for ocular dominance ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

They discovered that individual cells in the primary visual cortex of mice use motor and ... synchronized with the speed at which the mouse chooses to run. "We built on the principles of virtual ...
