Retinotopic mapping aims to uncover the relationship between visual stimuli on the retina and neural responses on the visual cortical surface. This study advances retinotopic mapping by applying diffeomorphic registration to the 3T NYU retinotopy dataset, encompassing analyze-PRF and mrVista data. Diffeomorphic Registration for Retinotopic Maps (DRRM) quantifies the diffeomorphic condition, ensuring accurate alignment of retinotopic maps without topological violations. Leveraging the Beltrami coefficient and topological condition, DRRM significantly enhances retinotopic map accuracy. Evaluation against existing methods demonstrates DRRM's superiority on various datasets, including 3T and 7T retinotopy data. The application of diffeomorphic registration improves the interpretability of low-quality retinotopic maps, holding promise for clinical applications.

Eph/ephrin signaling is crucial for organizing retinotopic maps in vertebrates. Unlike other EphAs, which are expressed in the embryonic ventral retina, EphA4 is found in the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) layer at perinatal stages, and its role in mammalian visual system development remains unclear. Using classic stripe assays, we demonstrate that, while RGC axons are repelled by ephrinB2, they grow on ephrinB1 stripes through EphA4-mediated adhesion.

The occipital place area (OPA) is a scene-selective region on the lateral surface of human occipitotemporal cortex that spatially overlaps multiple visual field maps, as well as portions of cortex that are not currently defined as retinotopic. Here we combined population receptive field modeling and responses to scenes in a representational similarity analysis (RSA) framework to test the prediction that the OPA's visual field map divisions contribute uniquely to the overall pattern of scene selectivity within the OPA. Consistent with this prediction, the patterns of response to a set of complex scenes were heterogeneous between maps.

Many studies have shown that the human visual system has two major functionally distinct cortical visual pathways: a ventral pathway, thought to be important for object recognition, and a dorsal pathway, thought to be important for spatial cognition. According to our and others previous studies, artificial neural networks with two segregated pathways can determine objects' identities and locations more accurately and efficiently than one-pathway artificial neural networks. In addition, we showed that these two segregated artificial cortical visual pathways can each process identity and spatial information of visual objects independently and differently.

Astroglial networks closely interact with neuronal populations, but their functional contribution to neuronal representation of sensory information remains unexplored. The superior colliculus (SC) integrates multi-sensory information by generating distinct spatial patterns of neuronal functional responses to specific sensory stimulation. Here, we report that astrocytes from the mouse SC form extensive networks in the retinorecipient layer compared to visual cortex.
