Abstract Retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the vertebrate retina, often display nonlinear summation of

Authors Vystrčilová M, Sridhar S, Burg MF, Khani MH, Karamanlis D, Schreyer HM, Ramakrishna V, Krüppel S, Zapp SJ, Mietsch M, Gollisch T, Ecker AS Journal eNeuro Citation eNeuro. 2026 Mar 19:ENEURO.0060-26.2026. Abstract The retina encodes a broad range of stimuli, adapting its computations to features like brightness, contrast, and

Authors Ramakrishna V, Gollisch T Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.03.06.710066. Abstract Photoreceptor degeneration is among the leading causes of blindness and optogenetics as a potential therapeutic measure has garnered much attention over recent years. In this approach, light-sensitive molecules like Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) are inserted into neurons in the retina to

Authors Vystrčilová M, Sridhar S, Burg MF, Gollisch T, Ecker AS Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2025.09.08.674839. Abstract Wide-field amacrine cells (ACs) play a unique role in retinal processing by integrating visual information across a large spatial area. Their inhibitory influence has been implicated in multiple retinal functions such as differential

Authors Nellen NS, Turishcheva P, Vystrčilová M, Sridhar S, Gollisch T, Tolias AS, Ecker AS Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2506.03293. Abstract Deep neural networks trained to predict neural activity from visual input and behaviour have shown great potential to serve as digital twins of the visual cortex. Per-neuron embeddings derived from

Abstract The dichotomy of excitation and suppression is one of the canonical mechanisms explaining the complexity of neural activity. Computational models of the interplay

Authors Karamanlis D, Khani MH, Schreyer HM, Zapp SJ, Mietsch M, Gollisch T Journal Nature Citation Nature. 2024 Nov 20. Abstract The role of the vertebrate retina in early vision is generally described by the efficient coding hypothesis1,2, which predicts that the retina reduces the redundancy inherent in natural scenes3

Abstract Spatially nonlinear stimulus integration by retinal ganglion cells lies at the heart of various computations performed by the retina.

Authors Zapp SJ, Khani MH, Schreyer HM, Sridhar S, Ramakrishna V, Krueppel S, Mietsch M, Protti DA, Karamanlis D, Gollisch T Journal eLife Citation eLife13:RP99945. Abstract A standard circuit motif in sensory systems is the pooling of sensory information from an upstream neuronal layer. A downstream neuron thereby collects signals

Authors Vystrčilová M, Sridhar S, Burg MF, Gollisch T, Ecker AS Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2024.03.06.583740. Abstract The diverse nature of visual environments demands that the retina, the first stage of the visual system, encodes a vast range of stimuli with various statistics. The retina adapts its computations to some
