We showed recently that exposure to whisker vibrations enhances coding efficiency in rat
barrel cortex despite increasing correlations in variability. Here, to understand how …

Exposure of cortical cells to sustained sensory stimuli results in changes in the neuronal
response function. This phenomenon, known as adaptation, is a common feature across …

Neuronal responses to ongoing stimulation in many systems change over time, or “adapt.”
Despite the ubiquity of adaptation, its effects on the stimulus information carried by neurons …

Invariant sensory coding is the robust coding of some sensory information (eg, stimulus type)
despite major changes in other sensory parameters (eg, stimulus strength). The contribution …

Adaptation of neural responses due to the history of sensory input has been observed
across all sensory modalities. However, the computational role of adaptation is not fully …

Recent reports have shown that responses of midbrain neurons in the guinea pig rapidly
shift the dynamic range of their responses to track changes in the statistics of ongoing sound …

Barrel cortex neuronal responses adapt to changes in the statistics of complex whisker
stimuli. This form of adaptation involves an adjustment in the input–output tuning functions of …

From the perspective of neural coding, the considerable trial-to-trial variability in the
responses of neurons to sensory stimuli is puzzling. Trial-to-trial response variability is …

The responses of cortical neurons are highly variable across repeated presentations of a
stimulus. Understanding this variability is critical for theories of both sensory and motor …

Adaptation is a prominent feature of biological neuronal systems. A common interpretation of
adaptation in terms of function is that it provides flexibility for a neuronal system to perform …
