Abstract:How does evolution act on neuronal populations to match computational characteristics to functional demands? We address this problem by comparing visual code and retinal cell composition in closely related murid species with different behaviours.Rhabdomys pumilioare diurnal and have substantially thicker inner retina and larger visual thalamus than nocturnalMus musculus. High-density electrophysiological recordings of visual response features in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) reveals thatRhabdomy… Show more
