The paper investigates how visual cortex cells detect object boundaries by analyzing image statistics and showing that 'incitatory' cell-cell interactions can produce boundary detection from simple cells.

The paper investigates how horizontal connections in V1 modulate pyramidal neuron responses to boundary cues using a combination of natural image analysis and computational modeling.

This study shows that NMDA spikes in piriform cortex pyramidal neurons amplify and selectively combine olfactory bulb inputs, explaining nonlinear odor code transformation.
