Visual responses of the primary visual cortex (V1) are altered by sound. Sound-driven behavioral arousal suggests that, in addition to direct inputs from the primary auditory cortex (A1), multiple other sources may shape V1 responses to sound. Here, we show in anesthetized mice that sound (white noise, ≥70dB) drives a biphasic modulation of V1 visually driven gamma-band activity, comprising fast-transient inhibitory and slow, prolonged excitatory (A1-independent) arousal-driven components. An analogous yet quicker modulation of the visual response also occurred earlier in the visual pathway, at the level of the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), where sound transiently inhibited the early phasic visual response and subsequently induced a prolonged increase in tonic spiking activity and gamma rhythmicity. Our results demonstrate that sound-driven modulations of visual activity are not exclusive to V1 and suggest that thalamocortical inputs from the dLGN to V1 contribute to shaping V1 visual response to sound.

Background: Protein misfolding is a key pathological phenomenon driving neurodegenerative diseases that affect millions of people. Visualizing this misfolding process with smart imaging probes would greatly facilitate early diagnosis, etiology elucidation, disease progression monitoring, and drug discovery of neurodegeneration. Although numerous probes have been reported, several unmet needs still exist.

Background: Responses to individualized music in people living with dementia can be indicated by both verbal and non-verbal cues. Evidence suggests that elevated pupil dilation responses to familiar vs. unfamiliar music are preserved in people living with typical Alzheimer's disease (tAD), and to an extent in people with its atypical 'visual' variant (Posterior Cortical Atrophy; PCA) (Brotherhood et al.

Metal fatigue, characterized by the accumulation of dislocation defects, is a prevalent failure mode in structural materials. Nondestructive early-stage detection of metal fatigue is extremely important to prevent disastrous events and protect human life. However, the lack of a precise quantitative method to visualize fatigue with spatiotemporal resolution poses a significant obstacle to timely detection.
