The visual system is the part of the central nervous system that is required for visual perception – receiving, processing and interpreting visual information to build a representation of the visual environment. It consists of the eye, retina, fibres that conduct visual information to the thalamus, the superior colliculus and parts of the cerebral cortex.
How the primate brain encodes socially relevant body poses remains unclear. Using keypoint-based modeling, the authors reveal fine-grained pose tuning in Superior Temporal Sulcus neurons, alongside region-specific sensitivity to viewpoint.
The synaptic mechanisms underlying cortical postnatal development are largely unexplored. Here, the authors reveal how spine calcium activity impacts turnover and organization of synaptic inputs on neurons in the mouse binocular visual cortex.
