Stimulus relevance modulates contrast adaptation in visual cortex

Stimulus relevance modulates contrast adaptation in visual cortex

A general principle of sensory processing is that neurons adapt to sustained stimuli by reducing their response over time. Most of our knowledge on adaptation in single cells is based on experiments in anesthetized animals. How responses adapt in awake animals, when stimuli may be behaviorally relev...
