This project investigates gain control mechanisms in different brain regions to understand how visual information is processed. By measuring nerve cell activity in specific brain nuclei, the research aims to determine whether these mechanisms are consistent or vary across pathways.
Research in neurophysiology has identified potentially canonical mechanisms and circuits that are repeated across multiple brain regions. A classic example of a canonical computation is gain control,which in sensory pathways allows neurons to adapt their dynamic range to the statistics of the local environment.
Gain control has been most studied in the visual pathway, where it helps make neurons sensitive to both spatial and temporal context.
Yet many parallel nerve pathways leave the eye and te…
