Transformation of Feature Selectivity From Membrane Potential to Spikes in the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Transformation of Feature Selectivity From Membrane Potential to Spikes in the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Neurons in the visual system display varying degrees of selectivity for stimulus features such as orientation and direction. Such feature selectivity is generated and processed by intricate circuit and synaptic mechanisms. A key factor in this process is the input-output transformation from membrane...
