Visual motion integration of bidirectional transparent motion in mouse opto-locomotor reflexes

Abstract Visual motion perception depends on readout of direction selective sensors. We investigated in mice whether the response to bidirectional transparent motion, activating oppositely tuned sensors, reflects integration (averaging) or winner-take-all (mutual inhibition) mechanisms. We measured...

description Abstract Visual motion perception depends on readout of direction selective sensors.
