Selective deletion of cochlear hair cells causes rapid age-dependent changes in spiral ganglion and cochlear nucleus neurons [PDF]
, 2015 During nervous system development, critical periods are usually defined as early periods during which manipulations dramatically change neuronal structure or function, whereas the same manipulations in mature animals have little or no effect on the same ...

Evidence for an additive inhibitory component of contrast adaptation [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The latency of visual responses generally decreases as contrast increases. Recording in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), we find that response latency increases with increasing contrast in ON cells for some visual stimuli. We propose that this surprising latency trend can be explained if ON cells rest further from threshold at higher contrasts ...

Boundary Contour System and Feature Contour System [PDF]
, 1995 When humans gaze upon a scene, our brains rapidly combine several different types of locally ambiguous visual information to generate a globally consistent and unambiguous representation of Form-And-Color-And-DEpth, or FACADE.

Why do axons differ in caliber? [PDF]
, 2012 CNS axons differ in diameter (d) by nearly 100-fold (∼0.1-10 μm); therefore, they differ in cross-sectional area (d(2)) and volume by nearly 10,000-fold.

Robust Estimation of Self-Exciting Generalized Linear Models with Application to Neuronal Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We consider the problem of estimating self-exciting generalized linear models from limited binary observations, where the history of the process serves as the covariate. We analyze the performance of two classes of estimators, namely the $\ell_1$-regularized maximum likelihood and greedy estimators, for a canonical self-exciting process and ...

The thalamus as a putative biomarker in neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]

A theoretical framework for retinal computations: insights from textbook knowledge [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Neural circuits in the retina divide the incoming visual scene into more than a dozen distinct representations that are sent on to central brain areas, such as the lateral geniculate nucleus and the superior colliculus. The retina can be viewed as a parallel image processor made of a multitude of small computational devices.

Immunoreactivity for a calmodulin-dependent protein kinase is selectively increased in macaque striate cortex after monocular deprivation [PDF]
, 1986 Immunocytochemical methods were used to localize type II Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase in the macaque primary visual cortex. Neurons that stain for the kinase include both pyramidal and nonpyramidal cells and they appear to form a subset of ...
