Variability of Visual Responses of Superior Colliculus Neurons Depends on Stimulus Velocity

09.09.2010

When information about the external world enters the brain through the sensory receptors, physical properties of the stimulus are encoded into sequences of identical electrical impulses in neural cells (neurons). Deep in the brain, cells and systems responsible for different brain functions – from perception to action – find out what the world is by decoding this massive information incoming through thousands of connections in different patterns of impulses. To understand how the brain ...
