Cell-type specific repertoire of responses to natural scenes in primate retinal ganglion cells

The paper examines how different primate retinal ganglion cell types respond to natural scenes, finding stereotyped response kinetics and distinct firing pattern repertoires across cell types.

Decomposition of retinal ganglion cell electrical images for cell type and functional inference

The paper decomposes retinal ganglion cell electrical images to infer cell types and functional properties using a novel optimization-based algorithm.

Functional diversity in the output of the primate retina

The paper identifies functional diversity in primate retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) through multi-electrode recordings, revealing non-classical receptive field structures and specialized roles beyond spatial filtering.

Fixational Eye Movements Enhance the Precision of Visual Information Transmitted by the Primate Retina

This study shows fixational eye movements improve retinal signal precision by enhancing spike timing and cell interactions in macaque retinas.

Modeling responses of macaque and human retinal ganglion cells to natural images using a convolutional neural network

The paper trains a convolutional neural network to predict retinal ganglion cell responses to natural images in macaques and humans, finding it more accurate than a linear-nonlinear model.

Individual variability of neural computations in the primate retina

The paper examines individual variability in neural computations of the primate retina using machine learning and finds sex-based differences in firing rates and temporal integration.

Reconstruction of natural images from responses of primate retinal ganglion cells

The paper reconstructs natural images from primate retinal ganglion cell responses, showing that optimal filters reflect image statistics and include contributions from nearby cells.
