Visual coding with a population of direction-selective neurons.
The brain decodes the visual scene from the action potentials of ∼20 retinal ganglion cell types. Among the retinal ganglion cells, direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs) encode motion direction. Several studies have focused on the encoding or decoding of motion direction by recording multiunit activity, mainly in the visual cortex. In this study, we simultaneously recorded from all four ty...
متن کاملDirection-selective Coding of Stereoscopic (Cyclopean) Motion
This study employed a selective adaptation paradigm and investigated thresholds for direction discrimination of translational stereoscopic motion (moving binocular disparity information). The stimuli were moving arrays of randomly positioned stereoscopic discs created from disparity embedded in dynamic random-element stereograms. When discrimination thresholds were measured across a range of ba...

متن کاملDendritic calcium accumulation associated with direction-selective adaptation in visual motion-sensitive neurons in vivo.
Motion adaptation in directionally selective tangential cells (TC) of the fly visual system has previously been explained as a presynaptic mechanism. Based on the observation that adaptation is in part direction selective, which is not accounted for by the former models of motion adaptation, we investigated whether physiological changes located in the TC dendrite can contribute to motion adapta...
متن کاملNeuronal population coding of movement direction.
Although individual neurons in the arm area of the primate motor cortex are only broadly tuned to a particular direction in three-dimensional space, the animal can very precisely control the movement of its arm. The direction of movement was found to be uniquely predicted by the action of a population of motor cortical neurons. When individual cells were represented as vectors that make weighte...
