Defying Expectations: How Neurons Compute Prediction Errors in Visual Cortex.
Overview
abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Jordan and Keller (2020) explore subthreshold computations underlying predictive coding using whole-cell recordings in mouse visual cortex. Their findings suggest that layer 2/3, but not layer 5/6, neurons compute prediction errors by subtracting predicted and actual visual flow inputs generated by locomotion.
