Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

Classification and characterization of neuronal types are critical for understanding their
function and dysfunction. Neuronal classification schemes typically rely on measurements of …

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 …

Degenerative retinal dystrophies, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular
degeneration, cause the progressive loss of retinal photoreceptors, which leads to …

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is the leading cause of blindness in
the developed world. Current therapy includes monthly intraocular injections of anti-VEGF …

Antagonistic interactions between center and surround receptive field (RF) components lie
at the heart of the computations performed in the visual system. Circularly symmetric center …

Obtaining a parts list of the sensory components of the retina is vital to understand the effects
of light in behavior, health, and disease. Rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal …

The sensory periphery is responsible for detecting ethologically relevant features of the
external world, using compact, predominantly feedforward circuits. Visual motion is a …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are thought to be strictly postsynaptic within the retina. They
carry visual signals from the eye to the brain, but do not make chemical synapses onto other …

The paper substantiates the concept of autoencoders focused on automatic generation of
compressed images. We propose a solution to the problem of synthesizing such …
