The functional organization of cerebral cortex comprises several motifs, including feedforward, feedback, and horizontal interactions across areas and layers. Modern recording techniques now allow us to record from many neurons across these populations. However, especially as we consider multiple (more than two) populations, new conceptual and statistical frameworks are needed to reveal the population-level nature of these organizational motifs and how they contribute to brain function. Here, we advance the use of the dimensionality reduction approach group factor analysis (GFA), alongside la
