The third meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Treatment Research to Improve Cognition
in Schizophrenia (CNTRICS) focused on selecting promising measures for each of the …

In what regime does the cortical circuit operate? Our intracellular studies of surround
suppression in cat primary visual cortex (V1) provide strong evidence on this question …

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …

Extensive electrophysiology studies have shown that many V1 simple cells have nonlinear
response properties to stimuli within their classical receptive field (CRF) and receive …

The physiological responses of simple and complex cells in the primary visual cortex (V1)
have been studied extensively and modeled at different levels. At the functional level, the …

Neuronal responses in primary visual cortex (V1) to optimally oriented high-contrast stimuli
in the receptive field (RF) center are suppressed by stimuli in the RF surround, but can be …

The visual system employs a sophisticated balance of attentional mechanisms: salient
stimuli are prioritized for visual processing, yet observers can also ignore such stimuli when …

Evidence suggests that the brain uses an operational set of canonical computations like
normalization, input filtering, and response gain enhancement via reentrant feedback. Here …

Surround suppression (SS) is a phenomenon whereby a neuron's response to stimuli in its
central receptive field (cRF) is suppressed by stimuli extending to its surround receptive field …

Cross-orientation suppression and surround suppression have been extensively studied in
primary visual cortex (V1). These two forms of suppression have some distinct properties …
