High-density electrode recordings reveal strong and specific connections between retinal ganglion cells and midbrain neurons
The superior colliculus is a midbrain structure that plays important roles in visually guided
behaviors in mammals. Neurons in the superior colliculus receive inputs from retinal …

Natural environment statistics in the upper and lower visual field are reflected in mouse retinal specializations
Pressures for survival make sensory circuits adapted to a species' natural habitat and its
behavioral challenges. Thus, to advance our understanding of the visual system, it is …

A fine-scale functional logic to convergence from retina to thalamus
Numerous well-defined classes of retinal ganglion cells innervate the thalamus to guide
image-forming vision, yet the rules governing their convergence and divergence remain …

ON/OFF domains shape receptive field structure in mouse visual cortex
E Tring, KK Duan, DL Ringach - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
In higher mammals, thalamic afferents to primary visual cortex (area V1) segregate
according to their responses to increases (ON) or decreases (OFF) in luminance. This …
