In the visual system of the blowfly Calliphora vicina, neurons of the vertical system (VS cells) integrate wide-field motion information from a retinotopic array of local motion detectors. In vivo ...

The receptive field (RF) of a neuron is the term applied to the space in which the presence of a stimulus alters the response of the same neuron. The responses of visual neurons, as well as visual ...

About 1.25 million neurons in the retina -- each of which views the world only through a small jagged window called a receptive field -- collectively form the seamless picture we rely on to navigate ...

Individual neurons in the central nervous system typically integrate inputs arising from many other neurons. Such pooling operations are thought to contribute importantly to sensation and perception, ...

Some neurons are more active than others, even when they are positioned right next to each other and are one and the same neuron type. Dr. Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau and Dr. James Poulet of the Max ...

Deep learning plays important role in artificial intelligence (AI), which yet faces challenges in object representation. In particular, with object sizes decreasing, recognition and detection become ...

A heat map of the receptive fields of sensory neuron receptors on a human fingertip. Jarocka et al., JNeurosci 2021 Our fingertips can provide us with detailed sensory information about anything we ...
