In computational neuroscience, synaptic plasticity learning rules are typically studied using
the full 64-bit floating point precision computers provide. However, for dedicated hardware …

The physiological responses of simple and complex cells in the primary visual cortex (V1)
have been studied extensively and modeled at different levels. At the functional level, the …

Many of the precise biological mechanisms of synaptic plasticity remain elusive, but
simulations of neural networks have greatly enhanced our understanding of how specific …

Thalamic neurons respond to visual scenes by generating synchronous spike trains on the
timescale of 10–20 ms that are very effective at driving cortical targets. Here we demonstrate …

The spatial processing of color is important for visual perception. Double-opponent (DO)
cells likely contribute to this processing by virtue of their spatially opponent and cone …

Purpose: Neural selectivity of orientation is a fundamental property of visual system. We aim
to investigate whether and how the orientation selectivity changes in amblyopia. Methods …

A compact analytic model is proposed to describe the combined orientation preference (OP)
and ocular dominance (OD) features of simple cells and their mutual constraints on the …

Neurons in the developing visual cortex undergo progressive functional maturation as
indicated by the refinement of their visual feature selectivity. However, changes of the …

Neural circuits and the cells that comprise them undergo developmental changes in the
spatial organization of their connections and in their temporal response properties. Within …

Double-opponent (DO) cells are well-suited to contribute to the spatial processing of color
due to their spatially opponent and cone-opponent receptive fields (RFs). However, the …
