"The features within these astrocytic receptive fields are not spectrotemporally distinct from those of neurons, and at the population level, they span overlapping but different subspaces of the full sensory space compared to neurons."
New study by Jacob L. Yates et al. introduces new tools enabling natural #behavioranalysis in untrained subjects, revealing accurate #visual #receptivefields and tuning curves in marmoset monkeys, highlighting the potential of free viewing for studying #neuralresponses and natural #behaviordynamics.
