Balanced spatiotemporal color responses are fine-tuned to natural light spectrum in mice ventral retina

The paper investigates how retinal ganglion cells in mice respond to different UV-to-green light balances, finding that a specific intensity ratio is necessary for reliable responses in the ventral retina, matching natural light conditions.

Nonlinear spatial integration allows the retina to detect the sign of defocus in natural scenes

The paper shows that retinal ganglion cells can detect the sign of defocus by using spatial contrast, which is affected by optical aberrations.

A cortical code emerges in Layer5a of S1 through temporal integration of thalamic inputs

The paper identifies how layer 5a of the somatosensory cortex generates 'sweep' responses through temporal integration of 'stick' inputs from VPM and POm, revealing a cortical construction of these responses.

Nitric oxide modulates contrast suppression in a subset of mouse retinal ganglion cells

This study investigates how nitric oxide modulates contrast suppression in specific mouse retinal ganglion cell types using two-photon imaging and MEA recordings.

Scalable gaussian process inference of neural responses to natural images

This paper develops a scalable Gaussian process model for predicting neural responses to natural images, outperforming deep neural networks on small datasets and enabling efficient model learning and comparison.

Context-dependent selectivity to natural scenes in the retina

This study investigates how retinal ganglion cells respond to natural scenes, finding that their ON-OFF selectivity varies with the image and is due to non-linear retinal circuit pathways.
