(1/10) Happy to share a science update! 🧠🧪
Our @natureneuro.bsky.social article shows how inhibitory neurons calculate “subtraction” or “division” to adjust visual sensitivity!
This one has it all – behavior, optogenetics, modeling, cell types, subthreshold mechanisms. Quick thread 🧵below

Lateral inhibition in V1 controls neural and perceptual contrast sensitivity - Nature Neuroscience
The role of lateral inhibition for perception and neural computation remains unsolved. Del Rosario et al. show that distinct types of cortical interneurons in V1 drive lateral inhibition that causes s...
