Neural sensitization improves encoding fidelity in the primate retina

Light intensity on the retina can fluctuate rapidly during natural vision, posing a challenge for encoding visual information. Here, the authors report that mechanisms of sensitization/facilitation maintain the sensitivity of the numerically dominant neural pathway in the primate retina during dynam...
