Prolonged exposure to a stimulus, called'adaptation', reduces cortical responsiveness.
Adaptation has been studied extensively in primary visual cortex (V1), where responsivity is …

The responsivity of primary sensory cortical neurons is reduced following prolonged
adaptation, but such adaptation has been little studied in higher sensory areas. Adaptation …

Recent stimulus history—adaptation—alters neuronal responses and perception. Previous
electrophysiological and perceptual studies suggest that prolonged adaptation strengthens …

Adaptation, the prolonged presentation of stimuli, has been used to probe mechanisms of
visual processing in physiological, imaging, and perceptual studies. Previous …

Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on
the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation …

Virtually all stages of the visual system exhibit adaptation: neurons adjust their responses
based on the recent stimulus history. While some of these adjustments occur at specific …

The visual system adapts to its environment. Some adaptive changes are detrimental—
perception is no longer veridical. Others are beneficial—the ability to discriminate two stimuli …

Adaptation-induced changes in the temporal-frequency tuning and direction selectivity of cat
visual cortical cells were studied. Aftereffects were induced largely independent of direction …

A canonical feature of sensory systems is that they adapt to prolonged or repeated inputs,
suggesting the brain encodes the temporal context in which stimuli are embedded. Sensory …

Prior exposure to a moving grating of high contrast led to a substantial and persistent
reduction in the contrast sensitivity of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of …
