This study identifies two types of inhibitory surrounds in avian midbrain Imc neurons that contribute to saliency-based stimulus selection.

The paper constructs an encoding model for motion-sensitive neurons in pigeon optic tectum and validates it with experiments and simulations.

The paper investigates visual stimulus-specific adaptation in the avian midbrain inhibitory nucleus Imc, finding that repeated motion stimuli reduce neuronal response, while novel directions recover response, indicating temporal saliency detection.
