Nerve cells in the eye work together to recognise contrasts and movements

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have discovered that nerve cells in the eye often process natural visual stimuli from the environment together in cell groups and in a coordinated manner. The coordinated co-operation of nerve cells enhances signal transmission in scenes with high contrast and movement. These
