Topic: sensitisation

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapts to the current viewing context. At early stages of visual processing, adaptation was generally studied without considering behavioural contexts. However, we recently learned that locomotion and arousal strongly modulate visual processing, even at the retina level. Here, we aim to understand how locomotion impacts visual adaptation in the superior colliculus (SC), the most prominent visual centre in mice, which integrates retinal input in its superficial layers and performs sensorimotor transformations in its deeper layers. We r
