Neuron populations across layer 2-6 in the mouse visual cortex exhibit different coding abilities in the awake mice.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The visual cortex is a key region in the mouse brain, responsible for processing visual information. Comprised of six distinct layers, each with unique neuronal types and connections, the visual cortex exhibits diverse decoding properties across its layers. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between visual stimulus decoding properties and the cortical layers of the visual cortex while considering how this relationship varies across different decoders and brain regions.

Methods

This study reached the above conclusions by analyzing two publicly available datasets obtained through two-photon microscopy of visual cortex neuronal responses. Various types of decoders were tested for visual cortex decoding.

Results

Our findings indicate that the de
