To study mechanisms of perception and cognition, neural measurements must be made during behavior. A goal of the Allen Brain Observatory is to map activity in distinct cortical cell classes during visual processing and behavior. Here we characterize learning and performance of five GCaMP6-expressing transgenic lines trained on a visual change detection task. We used automated training procedures to facilitate comparisons across mice. Training times varied, but most transgenic mice learned the task. Motivation levels also varied across mice. To compare mice in similar motivational states we subdivided sessions into over-, under-, and optimally motivated periods. When motivated, the pattern of perceptual decisions were highly correlated across transgenic lines, although overall d-prime was lower in one line labeling somatostatin inhibitory cells. These results provide important context for using these mice to map neural activity underlying perception and behavior.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
