  • In the posterior cortex, which is involved in decision making, the strength and area specificity of choice signals are highly variable. Here the authors show that the representation of choice in the posterior area of the mouse brain is orthogonal to that of sensory and movement-related signals, with modulations determined by task features and cognitive demands.

  • Transgenic approaches and improvements in functional imaging have necessitated an advance in the behavioral toolkit. Here the authors describe an automated high-throughput voluntary head fixation system for training mice on complex psychophysical decision tasks compatible with concurrent two-photon microscopy.

  • Whether mice can perceptually discriminate between texture images, and if so how these stimuli are processed by their visual system, remains an open question. Here, the authors show that mice can visually discriminate between textures and found evidence for ‘efficient coding’, highlighting a correlative link between image statistics, perceptual behavior, and geometrical aspects of neural representations.

  • In primary visual cortex (V1), adaptation controls the responsiveness of individual neurons and shifts their visual selectivity. Here the authors examine adaptation at the population level. They conclude that adaptation in V1 acts as a mechanism of homeostasis, enforcing a tendency towards equality and independence in neural activity across the population.

  • The authors use voltage-sensitive dye imaging and multielectrode recordings to show that the average population response to rapid sequences of orientations can largely be predicted by summation of the responses to each of the individual elements in the sequence. However, they find that following stimulus removal the population response is more persistent than expected.

  • Excitatory spiny stellate neurons in the somatosensory cortex are shaped by innervating thalamic inputs and unique expression of genes. Here, the authors show that these neurons play a crucial role in processing distinct whisker signals and forming specialized circuits for sensory perception.

  • Combined analysis of proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN by the CMS and LHCb collaborations leads to the observation of the extremely rare decay of the strange B meson into muons; the result is compatible with the standard model of particle physics, and does not show any signs of new physics, such as supersymmetry.
