Balanced excitation and inhibition decorrelates visual feature representation in the mammalian inner retina
SUMMARY The retina extracts visual features for transmission to the brain. Different types of bipolar cell split the photoreceptor input into parallel channels and provide the excitatory drive for downstream visual circuits. Anatomically, mouse bipolar cell types have been described down to the ultrastructural level, but a similarly deep understanding of their functional diversity is lacking. B...
متن کاملCrossover Inhibition Generates Sustained Visual Responses in the Inner Retina
In daylight, the input to the retinal circuit is provided primarily by cone photoreceptors acting as band-pass filters, but the retinal output also contains neuronal populations transmitting sustained signals. Using in vivo imaging of genetically encoded calcium reporters, we investigated the circuits that generate these sustained channels within the inner retina of zebrafish. In OFF bipolar ce...
متن کاملVisual stimulation decorrelates neuronal activity.
The accuracy of neuronal encoding depends on the response statistics of individual neurons and the correlation of the activity between different neurons. Here, the dynamics of the neuronal response statistics in the anterior superior temporal sulcus of the macaque monkey is described. A transient reduction in the normalized trial-by-trial variability and decorrelation of the responses with both...
متن کاملGeneral features of inhibition in the inner retina.
Visual processing starts in the retina. Within only two synaptic layers, a large number of parallel information channels emerge, each encoding a highly processed feature like edges or the direction of motion. Much of this functional diversity arises in the inner plexiform layer, where inhibitory amacrine cells modulate the excitatory signal of bipolar and ganglion cells. Studies investigating i...
متن کاملAn Analog Multimode Visual Feature Extraction Retina
We propose a multimode retina integrating image sensing, normalization, smoothing, differentiation and visual feature extraction by incorporating: 1) a histogram equalization function onto the sensor focal plane, which normalizes the image signal at the same dynamic range under different illumination conditions and results a constant signal amplitude facilitating the post processing; 2) a capac...
