title: Vision: more than expected in the early visual system.
abstract: In the standard model of central visual processing, orientation tuned responses in cortex are built from untuned thalamic inputs. But recent studies in the mouse show orientation selectivity in thalamic neurons, and address their potential source and possible roles in cortical computation.
