Optical investigation of microcircuit computations in mouse primary visual cortex
(2022-01-20)A fundamental challenge of visual cortical neuroscience is to understand how sensory representations are transformed within and across layers of primary visual cortex (V1). Visual signals are thought to propagate in a ... -
ZNF335: A Novel Regulator of Stem Cell Proliferation and Cell Fate in the Cerebral Cortex
(2013-03-18)Though development of the cerebral cortex is of singular importance to human cognition, it remains very poorly understood. Microcephaly, or "small head," is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing significantly reduced ...
