The relationship between signal response selectivity and the functional structure of complex retinal neural networks

In this paper we simulate the simultaneous responses of 45 neurones within a hypothetical retina to a variety of spatio-temporal signals. Our results demonstrate how specific convergent and divergent excitatory and inhibitory connections are sufficient to determine signal response selectivity of spe...

Zusammenfassung:	In this paper we simulate the simultaneous responses of 45 neurones within a hypothetical retina to a variety of spatio-temporal signals. Our results demonstrate how specific convergent and divergent excitatory and inhibitory connections are sufficient to determine signal response selectivity of specific ganglion cells and so delimit the known types of center-surround receptive fields.
