The visual system is equipped with highly sensitive but slow detectors, yet it can resolve light changes up to 60 Hz. Processes taking place in retinal circuits go beyond the intrinsic limits of the transduction machinery by an unconventional exploitation of voltage-dependent conductances, cleverly lined up to generate a cascade of band-pass amplification stages.

Abstract
The visual system is equipped with highly sensitive but slow detectors, yet it can resolve light changes up to 60 Hz. Processes taking place in retinal circuits go beyond the intrinsic limits of the transduction machinery by an unconventional exploitation of voltage-dependent conductances, cleverly lined up to generate a cascade of band-pass amplification stages.File in questo prodotto:
