title: How neural interactions form neural responses in the salamander retina.
abstract: A wide range of experimental data characterizing properties of individual salamander retinal cells and synaptic interactions are integrated to form a quantitative computational model of visual function in the salamander retina. The model is used to show how specific interactions between neurons and between networks of neurons can lead-to the integrated response behavior of individual cells deep in the retina. The model is also used to illustrate how the representation of moving and stationary stimuli is encoded in a series of layer-by-layer transformations leading to the final retinal output at the ganglion cell layer.
