Does the concept of cortical columns extend to higher-level primate cortex?

Using #DeepLearning & physiology, we found that V4 neurons cluster in columns & form functional groups biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Led by @KonstantinWille @kelli_restivo w/ @sinzlab @kfrankelab @alxecker 🧵 Elucidating the brain’s structure-function organization is key to understanding perception. A classic example are cortical columns, a vertical organization of neurons w/ similar function. They exist in primary sensory areas but it’s unclear if they are present throughout cortex
