Contrast polarity-specific mapping improves efficiency of neuronal computation for collision detection

Neurons receive information through their synaptic inputs, but the functional significance of how those inputs are mapped on to a cell’s dendrites remains unclear. We studied this question in a grasshopper visual neuron that tracks approaching objects and triggers escape behavior before an impending...
