Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

Visual signals in the vertebrate retina are shaped by feedback and feedforward inhibition in
two synaptic layers. In one, horizontal cells establish fundamental center-surround receptive …

Classification and characterization of neuronal types are critical for understanding their
function and dysfunction. Neuronal classification schemes typically rely on measurements of …

In the vertebrate visual system, all output of the retina is carried by retinal ganglion cells.
Each type encodes distinct visual features in parallel for transmission to the brain. How …

How a sensory stimulus is processed and perceived depends on the surrounding sensory
scene. In the visual cortex, contextual signals can be conveyed by an extensive network of …

Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) assists stabilization of the retinal image during head rotation.
OKN is driven by ON direction selective retinal ganglion cells (ON DSGCs), which encode …

Predators use vision to hunt, and hunting success is one of evolution's main selection
pressures. However, how viewing strategies and visual systems are adapted to predation is …

Visual information is conveyed to the brain by axons of> 30 retinal ganglion cell (RGC)
types. Characterization of these types is a prerequisite to understanding visual perception …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus is the exclusive relay of retinal
information en route to the visual cortex. Although much of our understanding about dLGN …

Numerous well-defined classes of retinal ganglion cells innervate the thalamus to guide
image-forming vision, yet the rules governing their convergence and divergence remain …
