Plaid masking explained with input-dependent dendritic nonlinearities

M Bertalmío, A Durán Vizcaíno, J Malo… - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
A serious obstacle for understanding early spatial vision comes from the failure of the so-
called standard model (SM) to predict the perception of plaid masking. But the SM originated …

More than expected: extracellular waveforms and functional responses in monkey LGN

SH Sun, NJ Killian, JS Pezaris - bioRxiv, 2024 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Unlike the exhaustive determination of cell types in the retina, key populations in the lateral
geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (LGN) may have been missed. Here, we have begun to …
