An important use of motion information is to segment a complex visual scene into surfaces
and objects. Transparent motions present a particularly difficult problem for segmentation …

Receptive fi elds of simple cells in the primate visual cortex were well fi t in the space and
time domains by the Gaussian Derivative (GD) model for spatio-temporal vision. All 23 fi elds …

Molecular cloning has introduced an unexpected diversity of neurotransmitter receptors. In
this study we review the types, the localization and possible synaptic function of the …

The early stages of visual processing provide excellent models for the study of how
information is represented in, and processed by, the activity of neurons. The fact that the …

The synaptic conductance of the On–Off direction-selective ganglion cells was measured
during visual stimulation to determine whether the direction selectivity is a property of the …

Some computational theories of motion perception assume that the first stage en route to this
perception is the local estimate of image velocity. However, this assumption is not supported …

Dendritic spikes that propagate toward the soma are well documented, but their
physiological role remains uncertain. Our in vitro patch-clamp recordings and two-photon …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the multiplication of synapse and neuron in
reference with polynomial algorithms and biophysical mechanisms. Polynomial algorithms …

Recent theories of visual attention, such as the oculomotor readiness theory of Klein
(1980)(Does oculomotor readiness mediate cognitive control of the visual attention. In: R …

Compartmentalized signaling in dendritic subdomains is critical for the function of many
central neurons. In the retina, individual dendritic sectors of a starburst amacrine cell (SAC) …
