Horizontal cortical connections shape intrinsic traveling waves into feature-selective motifs that regulate perceptual sensitivity.
Article in Cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Intrinsic cortical activity forms traveling waves that modulate sensory-evoked responses and perceptual sensitivity. These intrinsic traveling waves (iTWs) may arise from the coordination of synaptic activity through long-range feature-dependent horizontal connectivity within cortical areas. In a spiking network model that incorporates feature-selective patchy connections, we observe iTW motifs that result from shifts in excitatory/inhibitory balance as action potentials traverse these patchy connections. To test whether feature-selective motifs occur in vivo, we examined data recorded in the middle temporal visual area (Area MT) of marmosets performing a visual detection task. We find that some iTWs form motifs that are feature selective, exhibiting direction-selective modulations in spiking activity. Further, motifs modulate the gain of target-evoked responses and perceptual sensitivity if the target matches the preference of the motif. These results suggest that iTWs are shaped by the patchy horizontal fiber projections in the cortex and can regulate neural and perceptual sensitivity in a feature-selective manner.
