Stimulus type shapes the topology of cellular functional networks in mouse visual cortex.

ABSTRACT: On the timescale of sensory processing, neuronal networks have relatively fixed anatomical connectivity, while functional interactions between neurons can vary depending on the ongoing activity of the neurons within the network. We thus hypothesized that different types of stimuli could lead those networks to display stimulus-dependent functional connectivity patterns. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed single-cell resolution electrophysiological data from the Allen Institute, with simultaneous recordings of stimulus-evoked activity from neurons across 6 different regions of mouse visual cortex. Comparing the functional connectivity patterns during different stimulus types, we made several nontrivial observations: (1) while the frequencies of different functional motifs were preserved ac
