BMI Seminar // Isabelle Ferezou: Predictive processing of tactile sensory information in mice engaged in a whisker guided locomotion task

Speaker: Isabelle Ferezou, NeuroPSI, Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience, France   Organiser: LSENS - BMI <p>The predictive processing framework posits that the brain actively predicts sensory inputs rather than passively receiving them. How this principle operates during naturalistic, active sensation, particularly in the tactile domain, remains largely unexplored. The work I will present aimed to identify mesoscale neural signatures of predictive processing in the mouse whisker primary somatosensory cortex (wS1) and associative parietal areas during a whisker-guided locomotion task. We combined fibroscopic wide-field calcium imaging with high-resolution behavioural tracking, using a novel motori
