Approximately 10% of melanoma cases report a relative affected with melanoma, and a
positive family history is associated with an increased risk of developing melanoma …

Many studies have shown that the excitation and inhibition received by cortical neurons
remain roughly balanced across many conditions. A key question for understanding the …

Neurons in sensory cortex integrate multiple influences to parse objects and support
perception. Across multiple cortical areas, integration is characterized by two neuronal …

The idea that there is a fundamental cortical circuit that performs canonical computations
remains compelling though far from proven. Here we review evidence for two canonical …

We study a rate-model neural network composed of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in
which neuronal input-output functions are power laws with a power greater than 1, as …

Motion area V5/MT+ shows a variety of characteristic visual responses, often linked to
perception, which are heavily influenced by its rich connectivity with the primary visual cortex …

The visual system is split into two processing streams: a ventral stream that receives color
and form information and a dorsal stream that receives motion information. Each stream …

Perception operates on an immense amount of incoming information that greatly exceeds
the brain's processing capacity. Because of this fundamental limitation, the ability to …

Efficient neural processing depends on regulating responses through suppression and
facilitation of neural activity. Utilizing a well-known visual motion paradigm that evokes …

The processing of visual motion is conducted by dedicated pathways in the primate brain.
These pathways originate with populations of direction-selective neurons in the primary …
