Retinal Oscillations Carry Visual Information to Cortex
Thalamic relay cells fire action potentials that transmit information from retina to cortex. The amount of information that spike trains encode is usually estimated from the precision of spike timing with respect to the stimulus. Sensory input, however, is only one factor that influences neural activity. For example, intrinsic dynamics, such as oscillations of networks of neurons, also modulate...
متن کاملOscillations in the olfactory bulb carry information about odorant history.
While odorant-evoked oscillations in the vertebrate olfactory bulb have been studied extensively, information about their possible cognitive role has been missing. Using voltage-sensitive dye imaging, we show that repeated odorant presentations with interstimulus intervals of 2-12 s had dramatic and diverse effects on the three oscillations that occur in the turtle olfactory bulb. Two of the os...
متن کاملFrom neural oscillations to variational problems in the visual cortex.
Aim of this study is to provide a formal link between connectionist neural models and variational psycophysical ones. We show that the solution of phase difference equation of weakly connected neural oscillators gamma-converges as the dimension of the grid tends to 0, to the gradient flow relative to the Mumford-Shah functional in a Riemannian space. The Riemannian metric is directly induced by...
متن کاملCollective Oscillations in the Visual Cortex
The firing patterns of populations of cells in the cat visual cortex can exhibit oscillatory responses in the range of 35 85 Hz. Furthermore, groups of neurons many mm's apart can be highly synchronized as long as the cells have similar orientation tuning. We investigate two basic network architectures that incorporate either nearest-neighbor or global feedback interactions and conclude that no...
متن کاملThe influence of retinal preprocessing in visual cortex oscillations in humans
The present report addresses the reliability of non-invasive retinal recordings in humans using two different recording techniques for retinal activity – skin and DTL electrodes. As skin refers to a common disc electrode on the skin surface and DTL to a contact-electrode with a silver-silver chloride coated fibre. Although the literature suggests that the DTL electrode provides stronger signal ...
