Responses of pyramidal cell somata and apical dendrites in mouse visual cortex over multiple days.

Abstract in brief

• This study investigates how the responses of pyramidal neuron cell bodies and their apical dendrites in the mouse visual cortex change over multiple days, especially in response to visual stimuli.
• The apical dendrites mainly receive signals from higher brain areas involved in top-down processing, while the cell bodies and nearby dendrites mainly get input from local sensory signals, suggesting they may play different roles in learning.
• The researchers used high-quality calcium imaging to track these neuron parts over several days in awake mice, providing valuable data to explore how these structures process information and adapt over time.]
