Connectome-based biophysical modeling of a figure-ground discrimination circuit

Liu Ziyin, Yifei Lu, Alexander Borst, Sven Dorkenwald, Tomaso Poggio

The paper uses a Drosophila connectome and biophysical simulations to show that a reciprocal circuit between T4a motion detectors and vCH cells supports figure-ground discrimination through shunting inhibition.
