Abstract
The visual system faces a dual challenge. On the one hand, features of the natural visual environment should be stably processed -
irrespective of ongoing wiring changes, representational drift, and behavior. On the other hand, eye, head, and body motion require a robust
integration of pose and gaze shifts in visual computations for a stable perception of the world. We address these dimensions of stable visual
processing by studying the circuit mechanism of long-term representational stability, focusing on the role of plasticity, network structure,
experience, and behavioral state while recording large-scale neuronal activity with miniature two-photon microscopy.
