Abstract Reconsolidation disruption has been proposed as a method to attenuate pathological memories in disorders such PTSD. However, studies from our group and others indicate that strong are resistant becoming destabilized following reactivation, rendering them impervious agents disrupt the re-stabilization phase of reconsolidation. Thus, therapies designed maladaptive by disrupting reconsolidation updating have not adequately developed. We previously determined animals possessing auditory...
Sensory processing changes with behavioral context to increase computational flexibility. In the visual system, active states enhance sensory responses but typically leave preferred stimuli of neurons unchanged. Here we find that state does modulate stimulus selectivity in mouse cortex colored natural scenes. Using population imaging, behavior, pharmacology, and deep neural networks, identified a shift color towards ultraviolet exclusively caused by pupil dilation, resulting dynamic switch...
