Visual Aftereffects: Cortical Neurons Change Their Tune
Recent studies of areas V1 and MT in the visual cortex show that exposure to a stimulus can change the contrast sensitivity of cells and shift their peak sensitivity to a new orientation or movement direction. In MT, these shifts can correctly predict illusory changes - visual aftereffects - in movement direction, but in V1, they are more difficult to interpret.
متن کاملNeurons Tune Their Own Excitability When They Make A Decision
The brain is usually considered to be an extraordinarily complex object while a neuron is believed an ideal logical element. This idealization does not correspond to the real neural system properties. Experimental data give trustworthy evidence that a neuron is a microcosm of the brain. The firing threshold seems to be a dynamic property of an excitable membrane. Neurons appear to evaluate the ...
متن کاملV1 Neurons: In Tune with the Neighbors
In this issue of Neuron, Nauhaus et al. use a combination of optical imaging and multiple electrode recording to demonstrate that the orientation tuning of single cells in primary visual cortex is reliably related to the local structure of the orientation preference map in both cats and monkeys.
متن کاملWill paying the piper change the tune?
Most provincial governments are considering or introducing changes to hospital funding. Ten years of rapidly increasing expenditures have left them still facing complaints of waiting lists and waiting times. Activity-based funding (ABF) would supplement traditional negotiated global budgets, reimbursing a predetermined amount for each case treated - essentially, a "fee schedule" - thus providin...
متن کاملLeadership Competencies: time to change the tune
This paper indicates how the competency approach to leadership could be conceived of as a repeating refrain that continues to offer an illusory promise to rationalise and simplify the processes of selecting, measuring and developing leaders yet only reflects a fragment of the complexity that is leadership. To make this argument we draw on two discrete sets of data: a review of leadership compet...
