Neural mechanisms underlying high visual acuity are not fully understood. Here the authors show that high resolution visual information is transmitted from the retina to the brain by neurons in t...

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

If you are working in systems or computational neuroscience, or AI, I would strongly recommend to read “The mechanization of the mind” by Jean-Pierre Dupuy.

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...

In the early stages of retinal development, a form of correlated activity known as retinal waves causes periodic depolarizations of immature retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Retinal waves are crucial fo...

Species-specific gaze shifts with natural stimuli drive correlated spiking in retinal ganglion cells.
