Mechanism underlying the retinal computation of predictive sensitization
Neural circuits perform sophisticated computations. Fully understanding how biology can implement such complicated processes still remains a challenge. The retina, with it accessibility and known functionality, provides an excellent neural circuit for exploring such problems. In this talk I will show how dynamic inhibition underlies the retinal computation of sensitization, a computation that has been shown to form a prediction about the visual world through information storage.
