Processing of visual information in dim light:functional variability, matched filtering and spike coding in cockroach (<em>Periplaneta americana</em>) photoreceptors

Abstract Sensory systems are considered to be optimized for their ecological niche. In vision this means highly organised regular structure and function, where nearly identical photoreceptors have graded light responses in order to be able to handle as much information as possible. Instead, cockroa...
