Amazing and mind-blowing work ! And more that anything - really cool thread with all the gifs 🧵
The #visualcortex is full of mysteries 🤩

After a long journey through review, our paper is finally out in Nature Communications.

We started with a simple problem:
The visual cortex is strongly modulated by movement. So how can it represent the visual world without movement interfering with everything?

@marius10p.bsky.social lab. Same visual stim different neuron activation (video),but the mouse visual cortex achieves exceptional precision in encoding, with thresholds as low as 0.3°.The bottleneck? Downstream decoders, not cortical 'noise.' 🧠✨ #Neuroscience #VisualCortex doi.org/10.1101/679324

Scientists find abnormally slow neural dynamics in visual cortex of depressed individuals
New brain imaging reveals unusual slowness in the visual cortex of individuals experiencing major depression. This altered activity, linked to symptom severity, highlights a connection between visual processing and the broader depressive state.

Reconstruction of 3D layout and self-pose for natural indoor images. Schematic of the reconstruction approach for an example image (see Methods for details). The left image shows the six manually labeled edges: the two pairs of orange line are the horizontal edges parallel to the ground, while the green line and yellow line were used to calculate the height and width of the middle wall, respectively. The middle panel illustrates the reconstruction procedure based on the labeled lines. The right image shows the reconstructed corners and wall conjunctions.

This study introduces a novel glutamate-weighted functional imaging technique. By directly capturing neurotransmitter dynamics, it achieves precise localization of the visual cortex, offering a more direct imaging tool for brain science.
