Sensory areas of the mammalian cortex possess a regular six-layer motif, often interpreted functionally in terms of a canonical microcircuit and computation. Many have proposed that this canonical computation could be a form of predictive coding, but previous experiments have sometimes failed to deconfound prediction error as such from other possible causes for neural response dynamics, such as stimulus specific adaptation. We recorded spiking and local field potentials from seven areas in nine (N=9) mice as they passively viewed visual sequences with varying contextual cues and sequence structures. Current-source density analysis in mouse visual area rostrolateral (RL) showed distinct patterns when oddball stimuli were dissociated into stimulus specific adaptation, global oddballs, and deviance detection.
