I mean, I did scoop out a fair bit of cortex once to image the Striatum for some preliminary data, and it didn't seem to matter. Too early to draw conclusions, but...
@mameister4.bsky.social and @jieyusz.bsky.social are studying decorticate rodents. I loved reading those old papers and am stoked that someone has brought them back!
These mice without cortex or hippocampus maintain a good repertoire of functions! Me too, I always enjoy the philosophical discussions about the role of cortex :p
