Thrilled to share work from my PhD is now online as a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We show prey capture learning requires V1, enhances V1b tuning to behavior, and induces persistent plasticity in firing rates and spines, gated by homeostatic, rather than Hebbian processes. Read more:

Rapid prey capture learning drives a slow resetting of network activity in rodent binocular visual cortex Neocortical neurons possess stable firing rate set points to which they faithfully return when perturbed. These set points are established early and are stable through adulthood, suggesting they are i... https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.11.648036v1
