Generative adversarial neural networks maintain decoder accuracy during signal disruption in simulated long-term recordings from brain computer interfaces

This paper presents a GAN-based method to recover degraded signals in simulated long-term BCIs, maintaining decoder accuracy despite signal disruption.

Global motion processing by populations of direction-selective retinal ganglion cells

The paper studies how populations of direction-selective retinal ganglion cells encode and decode global motion, finding that larger populations achieve high temporal precision despite sparse and broadly tuned responses.

Activation of rod input in a model of retinal degeneration reverses retinal remodeling and induces formation of normal synapses, circuitry and visual signaling in the adult retina

This study shows that activating rod input in a retinal degeneration model restores synaptic structure, circuitry, and visual signaling in adult mice.

Formation of retinal direction-selective circuitry initiated by starburst amacrine cell homotypic contact

The paper shows that starburst amacrine cells use homotypic contacts to initiate formation of a dendritic scaffold in the retina, which is critical for direction-selective circuitry.
