Firing rates in visual cortex show representational drift, while temporal spike sequences remain stable

Great work by Boris Sotomayor and with @battaglialab.bsky.social
Firing rates in visual cortex show representational drift, while temporal spike sequences remain stable
Neural firing-rate responses to sensory stimuli show progressive changes both within and across sessions, raising the question of how the brain mainta…

We show here that neural travelling waves may not indicate the direction of information flow - counter to the common interpretation.

To recover information flow,
the conventional phase-based methods should be supplemented by causal inference techniques like Granger causality

Happy to see this study led by Irene Onorato finally out - we show distinct phase locking and spike timing of optotagged PV cells and Sst interneuron subtypes during gamma oscillations in mouse visual cortex, suggesting an update to the classic PING model www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Distinct roles of PV and Sst interneurons in visually induced gamma oscillations
Gamma-frequency oscillations are a hallmark of active information processing and are generated by interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neuro…

🚨Preprint Alert

New work with @martinavinck.bsky.social

We elucidate the architectural bias that enables CNNs to predict early visual cortex responses in macaques and humans even without optimization of convolutional kernels.

Neural responses in early, but not late, visual cortex are well predicted by random-weight CNNs with sufficient model complexity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.05.636721v1
