Reviewer #2 (Public Review): This work aims at answering whether activity in primate visual cortex is modulated by locomotion, as was reported for mouse visual cortex. The finding that the activity in ...

Scientists have discovered a universal pattern of brain waves in multiple primate species, including humans. This pattern of electrical activity is seen in the six layers of tissue that cover the ...
