We are very happy that we received funding for 4 more years to continue our projects in the SFB1233 on “Natural stimuli for mice” and “Feedforward and feedback processing in visual thalamus” together with Thomas Euler, Philipp Berens, and Matthias Bethge at the University of Tübingen. Thanks to our reviewers and thanks to the DFG for funding.
Revised manuscript on corticothalamic feedback during naturalistic visual stimulation
Over the summer, we have revised our manuscript on “Robust effects of corticothalamic feedback during naturalistic visual stimulation”. It now includes specific optogenetic suppression of V1 CT neurons using stGtACR2 and many new analyses.
