# Mouse Visual Cortex **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Type:** Anatomical and experimental domain **Primary sources:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]]; [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] ## Definition The **mouse visual cortex** comprises cortical regions that process visual information in the mouse brain. ## Relationships - [[wiki/MICrONS|MICrONS]] reconstructed a multi-area volume containing primary and higher visual areas. - The same tissue was functionally characterized with [[wiki/Calcium Imaging|calcium imaging]] before electron-microscopy reconstruction. - Findings from mouse cortex can inform circuit principles without being automatically transferable to human cortex. <!-- BEGIN HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ### Host–residual infrastructure patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] **Canonical source article:** [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]] **Related acquisition source:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0797 — `wiki_links_to` → [[wiki/MICrONS|MICrONS]]** — **EXISTING WIKI EDGE**; evidence `WIKI_ARCHIVE`.

Direct internal link currently present in `MICrONS.md`. #### Epistemic boundary Verified external relationships, inherited wiki links, corpus architecture, technical precedents, cross-thread comparisons, analytic convergence, and graph candidates remain distinct. “Related” means only the typed relationship shown. A graph candidate is retained as **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**; similarity, shared personnel, compatibility, adjacent infrastructure, or common requirements do not establish ownership, funding, transfer, operational integration, or shared intent. Software checkpointing, adapters, world models, and confidential computing are engineering precedents or analogues, not demonstrations of human phenomenal or numerical continuity. <!-- END HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 -->
