We can claim that we know what the visual system does once we can predict neural
responses to arbitrary stimuli, including those seen in nature. In the early visual system …

The function of any neural circuit is governed by connectivity of neurons in the circuit and the
computations performed by the neurons. Recent research on retinal function has …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Functional asymmetries in the ON and OFF pathways of the primate visual system were
examined using simultaneous multi-electrode recordings from dozens of retinal ganglion …

The fovea is a specialized region of the retina that dominates the visual perception of
primates by providing high chromatic and spatial acuity. While the foveal and peripheral …

For most individuals, balancing upright is a simple task that requires little effort. The inherent
difficulties associated with standing balance are not revealed until a pathology or injury …

Establishing a representation of space is a major goal of sensory systems. Spatial
information, however, is not always explicit in the incoming sensory signals. In most …

Humans and other species continually perform microscopic eye movements, even when
attending to a single point [1–3]. These movements, which include drifts and microsaccades …

What determines spatial tuning in the visual system? Standard views rely on the assumption
that spatial information is directly inherited from the relative position of photoreceptors and …

We investigated how the light-evoked input and output signals of salamander retinal
ganglion cells adapt to changes in temporal contrast, ie, changes in the depth of the …
