responses have largely used anaesthetized animals; now, Haider _et al_. report that recordings of visually evoked responses from the cortex of awake mice show much greater levels of
widespread inhibition, resulting in more spatially selective and short-lived cortical responses to sensory stimulation than are seen in anaesthetized animals. This synaptic inhibition might
be modulated by attention or reward-related factors to influence visual processing. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
