A Plug‐and‐Play Volume Minimizing Micromixer
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microscale fluid mixing has numerous applications where rapid and efficient mixing is required, including drug discovery, bio‐analysis and point‐of‐care diagnostics. Conventional soft lithography processes, however, make the integration of robust and reliable mixing difficult to implement in practice, especially across different flow rates ...

Hierarchical Summary Statistics Encoding Across Primary Visual and Posterior Parietal Cortices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single‐neuron variability. These signals propagate to PPC, where they are transformed into abstract category representations during decision making.
