Visual adaptation: physiology, mechanisms, and functional benefits

A Kohn - Journal of neurophysiology, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Recent sensory experience affects both perception and the response properties of visual
neurons. Here I review a rapid form of experience-dependent plasticity that follows …

[HTML][HTML] Moving sensory adaptation beyond suppressive effects in single neurons

SG Solomon, A Kohn - Current biology, 2014 - cell.com
How an object is perceived depends on the temporal context in which it is encountered.
Sensory signals in the brain also depend on temporal context, a phenomenon often referred …

A tonic hyperpolarization underlying contrast adaptation in cat visual cortex

M Carandini, D Ferster - Science, 1997 - science.org
The firing rate responses of neurons in the primary visual cortex grow with stimulus contrast,
the variation in the luminance of an image relative to the mean luminance. These responses …

Cellular mechanisms of long-lasting adaptation in visual cortical neurons in vitro

MV Sanchez-Vives, LG Nowak… - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
The cellular mechanisms of spike-frequency adaptation during prolonged discharges and of
the slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that follows, as occur in vivo with contrast adaptation …

[HTML][HTML] Profound contrast adaptation early in the visual pathway

SG Solomon, JW Peirce, NT Dhruv, P Lennie - Neuron, 2004 - cell.com
Prior exposure to a moving grating of high contrast led to a substantial and persistent

Membrane Mechanisms Underlying Contrast Adaptation in Cat Area 17In Vivo

MV Sanchez-Vives, LG Nowak… - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
Contrast adaptation is a psychophysical phenomenon, the neuronal bases of which reside
largely in the primary visual cortex. The cellular mechanisms of contrast adaptation were …

Adaptation to temporal contrast in primate and salamander retina

D Chander, EJ Chichilnisky - Journal of Neuroscience, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
Visual adaptation to temporal contrast (intensity modulation of a spatially uniform, randomly
flickering stimulus) was examined in simultaneously recorded ensembles of retinal ganglion …

The suppressive field of neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus

V Bonin, V Mante, M Carandini - Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
The responses of neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) exhibit powerful suppressive
phenomena such as contrast saturation, size tuning, and masking. These phenomena …

[HTML][HTML] Suppression without inhibition in visual cortex

TCB Freeman, S Durand, DC Kiper, M Carandini - Neuron, 2002 - cell.com
Neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) are thought to receive inhibition from other V1 neurons
selective for a variety of orientations. Evidence for this inhibition is commonly found in cross …
