The present invention provides methods for identifying genes and pathways involved in
plasticity. The invention applies some of these methods to identify genes that are …

Abstract The Emergic Cognitive Model (ECM) is a unified computational model of visual
filling-in based on the Emergic Network architecture. The Emergic Network was designed to …

Understanding how neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) of primates respond to visual
patterns has been a major focus of research in neuroscience for many decades. Numerous …

Dans le cortex visuel primaire du chat (aires 17 et 18), les neurones répondant aux
orientations présentes dans l'environnement (comme le contour des objets) sont organisés …

Recent studies have demonstrated that multivariate machine learning algorithms can
decode the orientation of grating stimuli from coarsely sampled (3× 3× 3 mm3) functional …

Lateral connection is a fundamental element of human neural networks which enables
sparse learning and topographical order in feature maps. Due to high complexity and …

VI simple cells are able to maintain the shape and width of their tuning curves for orientation
despite large changes that may occur in stimulus contrast (Alitto & Usrey, 2004; Sclar & …

A salient feature of primary visual cortex in higher mammals is its organization into maps of
visual space, ocular dominance, and orientation preference among others. The two …

The visual cortex contains well-ordered maps for visual features such as orientation. Existing
computational approaches have demonstrated that biologically realistic global organization …

Neural systems compute dynamic representations of the environment: sensory neurons
respond selectively to sensory stimuli, and adapt their “code” according to recently received …
