A new device enables researchers to use and recycle extracellular electrodes (e.g. Neuropixels) for high-yield recordings during freely moving mouse experiments.

Techniques are presented to facilitate widespread and standardized chronic use of Neuropixels probes for high-yield, long-term neural recording in freely moving animals.

Neurons can be tracked in mice implanted with Neuropixels 2.0 probes for up to 8 weeks using visual receptive fields to score tracking in the absence of reference data.

Ripple origination point shapes neural activity dynamics across the different hippocampal subfields.

Local sensory signals in visual and frontal cortex play a causal role in task performance, while widespread dorsal cortical signals correlating with movement reflect processes that do not.

Neurons in the mouse hippocampus, known as place cells, surprisingly show movie-fields, where they reliably encode distinct segments of a black-and-white, silent movie, even without any task demand or rewards.

Bespoke volumetric calcium imaging, validated with neuropixels recordings, evidence a population code for sound azimuth at the dorsal cortex of the inferior colliculus, with a contribution of noise correlations.

A biophysically detailed model of mouse primary visual cortex reproduces, in a quantitative manner, experimentally recorded spikes and local field potentials, and suggests mechanisms that form current sinks and sources in vivo.

A new method is described to identify sharp-wave ripples from the rodent hippocampus with deep learning techniques, which may help to identify and characterize previously undetected physiological events.
