    Retrosplenial cortex enables context-dependent goal-directed sensorimotor transformation

    Pol Bech, Robin F Dard ... Carl CH Petersen
    Optical imaging and optogenetic inactivation of dorsal mouse neocortex reveal an unexpected role for retrosplenial cortex in the context-dependent transformation of whisker sensory information into licking for a water reward.

    Frequency-dependent modulation of foveal contrast sensitivity by fine-scale exogenously triggered attention

    Yue Guzhang, T Florian Jaeger, Martina Poletti
    Fine-scale exogenous attention within the foveola selectively enhances contrast gain at low-to-mid spatial frequencies while increasing response gain across a broad spatial frequency range.
