    Transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease

    Sijia Zhao, Thomas Parr ... Masud Husain
    Saccades selectively disrupt spatial but not colour memory, and while transsaccadic updating remains resilient to ageing and neurodegeneration, individual drawing deficits arise from impaired initial encoding and memory decay.

    Size tuning of neural response variability in laminar circuits of macaque primary visual cortex

    Lauri Nurminen, Maryam Bijanzadeh, Alessandra Angelucci
    The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting multiple circuits and mechanisms as the source of variability.

    Inverted encoding of neural responses to audiovisual stimuli reveals super-additive multisensory enhancement

    Zak Buhmann, Amanda K Robinson ... Reuben Rideaux
    A multivariate analysis of electroencephalography activity reveals super-additive enhancements to the neural encoding of audiovisual stimuli, providing new insights into how the brain integrates multisensory information to optimise spatial localisation.

    Dynamics of mesoscale brain network during visual discrimination learning revealed by chronic, large-scale single-unit recording

    Tian-Yi Wang, Chengcong Feng ... Zhengtuo Zhao
    During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information encoding across the network.

    The influence of sample size and covariate distributions on neuroanatomical normative modeling

    Camille Elleaume, Bruno Hebling Vieira ... Nicolas Langer
    Systematic analyses show that normative model performance strongly depends on sample size and covariate distributions, larger samples yield more stable fits, while misaligned covariates introduce systematic distortions in predictions.
