Optotagging in primate cortex uncovers excitatory and inhibitory neuron specializations in form vision

The perception of complex visual shapes is a hallmark of primates and a foundation for many of their decisions and actions. The neural mechanisms of this visual function are best studied in macaques, but progress in this animal model has been hampered by the inability to dissect the contributions of distinct neuronal c...
