Visual behavior is based on the concerted activity of neurons in visual areas, where sensory signals are integrated with top-down information. In the past decade, the advent of new tools, such as functional imaging of populations of identified single neurons, high-density electrophysiology, virus-assisted circuit mapping, and precisely timed, cell-type specific manipulations, has advanced our understanding of the neuronal microcircuits underlying visual behavior. Studies in head-fixed mice, where such tools can routinely be applied, begin to provide new insights into the neural code of primary visual cortex (V1) underlying visual perception, and the micro-circuits of attention, predictive processing, and learning.

V1微电路是鼠标视觉行为的基础。

视觉行为是基于视觉区域中神经元的协调活动，其中感觉信号与自上而下的信息整合在一起。在过去的十年中，新工具的出现，例如对已识别的单个神经元的群体进行功能成像，高密度电生理学，病毒辅助电路作图以及精确定时的细胞类型特定操作，使我们对神经元有了更深入的了解。潜在的视觉行为的微电路。头固定型小鼠的研究可以常规应用此类工具，这些研究开始提供新的见解，使人们对基础视觉感知的初级视觉皮层（V1）的神经代码以及注意力，预测性处理和学习的微电路产生新的见解。
