Sensory neurons can be influenced by stimuli beyond their receptive field center, yet the mechanisms underlying this surround modulation remain poo...

Ganglion cells classically respond to either light increase (ON) or decrease (OFF). Here, the authors show that during natural scene stimulation, a single ganglion cell can switch between ON and OFF d...

Having a model of the brain that works in many cases seems like a good idea. Is it really ?

While substantial knowledge exists about the way the retina processes simple stimuli, our understanding of how the retina processes natural stimuli re…

Vertebrate eyes first evolved in water, where spectral content rapidly fades with distance. Zebrafish exploit this loss by antagonizing cone signals to suppress the background, pointing to distance es...

The retina can easily detect whether the eye is too small or too big thanks to the imperfections of the eye optics.

Sensory neurons can be influenced by stimuli beyond their receptive field center, yet the mechanisms underlying this surround modulation remain poorly understood. In the retina, many OFF ganglion cell...

Human expertise in face perception grows over development, but even within minutes of birth, infants exhibit an extraordinary sensitivity to face-like stimuli. The dominant theory accounts for innate....

The retina is known to strongly respond to omitted stimuli in periodic patterns. Here the authors propose that depressing inhibitory synapses shape the timing of such a response and are key to perform...

Grimes et al. use EM to examine the ultrastructure of neurovascular units in mouse retina and discover differences in glial coverage, neuronal contacts, and susceptibility to disease. Glial calcium signals are activated by ATP and propagate through all layers. Neurovascular contacts near photoreceptors are compromised in retinitis pigmentosa.

The axon initial segment of principal cells of the cortex and hippocampus is contacted by GABAergic interneurons called chandelier cells. The anatomy, as well as alterations in neurological diseases s...
