How do bottom-up and top-down thalamic inputs map onto the rich cellular taxonomy of the visual cortex? We combined transsynaptic tracing with spatial transcriptomics to find out. Our new preprint reveals a cellular framework for cortical hierarchy: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The Logic of Thalamic Inputs onto the Molecular Taxonomy of Cortical Neurons Reveals a Visual Hierarchy
The hierarchical organization of sensory cortices and the rich molecular taxonomy of their cell types are defining features of the mammalian cortex. Cortical areas along this hierarchy are reciprocall...

A collaborative paper with Ge/Wei/Scanziani @hhmi-science.bsky.social integrating our anterograde trans-neuronal tracer (mWGA-mCherry, PMID: 35524141) with MERFISH to decode higher visual circuits (aka. reciprocal circuits) #Braininitiative #Brainconnects #vision www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

@natrevneuro.nature.com just published a beautiful cover for the issue that includes the recent review on analogies in the visual system of vertebrates and invertebrates (@ryosuketanaka.bsky.social). Read it here doi.org/10.1038/s415... Science and Art, what could be better?
