p076fig02.26 The mudpuppy retina exhibits the shift property that occurs in the feedforward shunting on-center off-surround network in Figure 2.25. As a result, its sensitivity also shifts in response to different background off-surrounds, and therefore exhibits no compression (dashed purple lines).
|| Mudpuppy retina neurophysiology.
I center, J background
a) Relative figure-to-ground
b) Weber-Fechner I*(A + J)^(-I)
c) No hyperpolarization, SHUNT: Silent inhibition
d) Shift property(Werblin 1970) xi(K,J) vs K = ln(I)
Adaptation- sensitivity shifts for different backgrounds. NO COMPRESSION.
