Uniting two principles that have been thought of being mutually exclusive in the past can explain how neurons become sensitive to the direction of motion.

The multiple component mechanisms of extra-classical receptive field modulation, with distinct dynamics, discovered in the monkey visual cortex have important implications for understanding contextual perceptual processing.

Focal optogenetic inactivation of cortex induces complex changes in neural responses outside the targeted area that can influence behavioral performance.
Functional imaging (fMRI) across four mammalian species maps the brain areas engaging in burst-suppression activity during anesthesia, and uncovers differences between primates and rodents.
Electrophysiological recording and optogenetic manipulation approaches reveal that a multisensory bottom-up SC-LP-A1 pathway plays a role in contextual and cross-modality modulation of auditory cortical processing.

In a simple visual task, that in principle could be performed using information in V1 alone, perturbations of secondary visual areas impair perception.
Two photon calcium imaging experiments show that excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus are differentially modulated by the motion contrast between stimulus center and surround.
A new and efficient continuous flash suppression (CFS) method is presented that provides breakthrough and suppression thresholds to quantify depth of target suppression.
