Nonlinear spatial integration allows the retina to detect the sign of defocus in natural scenes
The retina can easily detect whether the eye is too small or too big thanks to the imperfections of the eye optics.

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨
We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭

If you are looking for a book to read and are interested in computational/systems neuroscience or AI, I have a suggestion: trialsanderrors.substack.com/p/a-recommen...
A recommended summer read: "The mechanization of the mind"
If you are working in systems or computational neuroscience, or AI, I would strongly recommend to read “The mechanization of the mind” by Jean-Pierre Dupuy.

New preprint! A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of spontaneous activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Transcriptomic changes in retinal ganglion cell types associated with the disruption of cholinergic retinal waves
In the early stages of retinal development, a form of correlated activity known as retinal waves causes periodic depolarizations of immature retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Retinal waves are crucial fo...
