Towards building a more complex view of the lateral geniculate nucleus: Recent advances in understanding its role

M Ghodrati, SM Khaligh-Razavi, SR Lehky - Progress in Neurobiology, 2017 - Elsevier
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) has often been treated in the past as a linear filter that
adds little to retinal processing of visual inputs. Here we review anatomical …

Origins of feature selectivities and maps in the mammalian primary visual cortex

TR Vidyasagar, UT Eysel - Trends in neurosciences, 2015 - cell.com
A common feature of the mammalian striate cortex is the arrangement of 'orientation
domains' containing neurons preferring similar stimulus orientations. They are arranged as …

Spatially-correlated neuron transistors with ion-gel gating for brain-inspired applications

L Kong, J Sun, C Qian, C Wang, J Yang, Y Gao - Organic Electronics, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper, ion-gel gated transistors based on solution-processed indium-gallium-zinc-

Comparison of mechanisms for contrast-invariance of orientation selectivity in simple cells

PA Fortier - Neuroscience, 2017 - Elsevier
The simple cells of the visual cortex respond over a narrow range of stimulus orientations,
and this tuning is invariant to the contrast at which the stimulus is presented. The inputs to a …
