The Rod Bipolar Cell Pathway Contributes To Surround Responses In OFFRetinal Ganglion Cells

Giulia Lia Beatrice Spampinato, Francesco Trapani, Victor Calbiague, Thomas Buffet, Elaine Orendorff, B. Semihcan Sermet, Guilhem Glaziou, Deniz Dalkara, Emiliano Ronzitti, Eirini I. Papagiakoumou, Valentina Emiliani, Olivier Marre

The paper identifies rod bipolar and AII amacrine cells as key to surround responses in OFF retinal ganglion cells through optogenetics and electrophysiology.

Primitives for motion segmentation in the retina

Samuele Virgili, Thomas Buffet, Matthew Chalk, Olivier Marre

The paper shows that specific ganglion cells respond selectively to contrast changes near moving object edges, suggesting they could serve as primitives for motion segmentation.

Temporal pattern recognition in retinal ganglion cells is mediated by dynamical inhibitory synapses

Simone Ebert, Thomas Buffet, B. Semihcan Sermet, Olivier Marre, Bruno Cessac

The paper shows that depressing inhibitory synapses enable retinal ganglion cells to signal omitted stimuli in flash sequences, revealing a mechanism for predictive error signaling.

Strong, but not weak, noise correlations are beneficial for population coding

Gabriel Mahuas, Thomas Buffet, Olivier Marre, Ulisse Ferrari, Thierry Mora

The paper shows that strong noise correlations improve population coding in neural populations, contradicting the common belief that they should be negative.
