The paper proposes a function for thalamocortical loops in evidence accumulation and decision-making, showing they can operate in integrating or amplifying regimes based on cortical input.

The paper analyzes retinal population codes in natural scenes to show that stimulus-invariant population structure contributes to scene identity encoding.

The paper shows that passive exposure to images increases sparseness in primary visual cortex neural activity by reducing responses of less active neurons.

This study shows inhibitory synaptic plasticity generates novelty responses in a network model by altering inhibition levels based on stimulus familiarity.

This paper develops a wavelet-based method to reduce stimulus dimensionality and identifies additional linear filters for salamander retinal ganglion cells, revealing insights into nonlinear processing.

The paper shows that V1 neurons encode not only the current visual stimulus but also information from up to five previous images, with effects lasting up to 1000 msec.

This study identifies nonlinearities in ON bipolar cell responses to light flashes and develops a model to capture these features.

The paper demonstrates a biologically plausible circuit that learns and reads out clusters of retinal ganglion cell activity in real-time.

The paper investigates predictive coding in the primary visual cortex by analyzing neural responses to novel and familiar stimuli in mice, finding a two-channel code for stimulus identity.
