AbstractThe retina maintains sensitivity over a large range of luminance intensities by switching between rod and cone photoreceptors. This luminance adaptation has been shown to alter the receptive fields and interneuronal correlations of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).

AbstractSub-additivity and variability are ubiquitous response motifs in the primary visual cortex (V1). Response sub-additivity enables the construction of useful interpretations of the visual environment, whereas response variability indicates the factors that limit the precision with which the brain can do this. There is increasing evidence that experimental manipulations that elicit response sub-additivity often also quench response variability.
