  1. A new study by Timothy Sit, Célian Bimbard, Anna Lebedeva, @MatteoCarandini, Philip Coen, and Kenneth Harris challenges the classic cortical column model. Using in vivo recordings, they show that layers 2/3 and 5 in #V1 encode distinct visual features — functionally dissociated, not redundant. A cool look into laminar specialization.

  2. Electrical #BrainStimulation can be used to modulate #brain activity but how does it affect the #CorticalLayers? This study shows that only the deeper layers show phase-dependent changes in local field potential components upon electrical stimulation @PLOSBiology plos.io/406W3i5
