The local field potential (LFP) is increasingly used to measure the combined activity of
neurons within a region of tissue. Yet, available estimates of the size of this region are highly …

… Upon an incorrect choice, it received a 6 s timeout accompanied by a Gaussian noise sound…
initiate a trial within 60 s or did not poke a choice port within 30 s of leaving the central port. …

… Contrary to Niell and Stryker’s conclusion that dLGN response magnitude is unaltered by
locomotion [4], we found that locomotion onset transiently increased dLGN responses during …

… Stimuli lasted 2 or 3 s and were separated by a uniform gray field (∼4 s intervals). To
measure responses, we averaged firing rate across the entire stimulus duration. … Charpak S …

Dynamically shifting attention between behaviorally relevant stimuli in the environment is a
key condition for successful adaptive behavior. Here, we investigated how exogenous (…

… K s , w c , and w s are parameters for the gain and width of the center and surround mechanisms.
For fitting, we imposed w c < w s … We excluded units if maximal firing rate was <1 spike/s …

… randomly, and the grating was presented for 3 s. The presentation of one grating was always
… 8–15 s plus a random delay drawn from an exponential distribution with a mean of 10–15 s. …

… We considered 10 s intervals of spontaneous activity and divided them into 200 windows
of 50 ms each. For each window, we determined the population rate, ie, the total number of …

The visual cortical network consists of a number of specialized areas that are connected in
a highly structured way. Understanding the function of this network is a milestone goal of …

… For the direction cue, dots were achromatic and moved at a speed of 3/s in the direction
which had to be detected. In the color task, the dots of the cue were stationary and were plotted …
