Neuroanatomic studies of the mammalian retina have the invaluable advantage that, as
difficulties arise in the functional classification of a structure, auxiliary information from …

Motion information is required for the solution of many complex tasks of the visual system
such as depth perception by motion parallax and figure/ground discrimination by relative …

An important task in vision is to detect objects moving within a stationary scene. During
normal viewing this is complicated by the presence of eye movements that continually scan …

Owing to the limited dynamic range of a neuron's output, neural circuits are faced with a
trade-off between encoding the full range of their inputs and resolving gradations among …

To analyze the rules that govern communication between eye and brain, visual responses
were recorded from an intact salamander retina. Parallel observation of many retinal …

The center–surround receptive-field organization in retinal ganglion cells is widely believed
to result mainly from lateral inhibition at the first synaptic level (in the outer retina). Inhibition …

The detailed morphology of the dopaminergic amacrine cell type has been characterized in
the macaque monkey retina by intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This …

An efficient modeling of the processing occurring at retina level and in the V1 visual cortex
has been proposed in [1, 2]. The aim of the paper is to show the advantages of using such a …

Retinal neurons exhibit sustained versus transient light responses, which are thought to
encode low-and high-frequency stimuli, respectively. This dichotomy has been recognized …
