Patchy harmonic functional connectivity of the mouse auditory cortex.

ABSTRACT: Analyzing the functional connectivity of the brain is an enormous challenge, as deciphering functional connectivity requires knowledge of functional responses and connections. One promising strategy is analyzing the spatial pattern of activity correlations across cell populations. In the primary auditory cortex (A1), cells respond to different sound features. On the large scale, there exists a tonotopic map, which is fractured at the small scale, raising the question of whether functional connections are spatially ordered or disordered. To test whether functional connectivity on a local and a global scale is also disordered, we first designed a robust statistical model to estimate parameters and test for the significance of the estimated correlation maps. We developed an inference method t
