SINs and SOMs: Neural microcircuits for size tuning in the zebrafish and mouse visual pathway.
In many animals, a fast and reliable circuit for discriminating between predator-sized objects and edible (prey-sized) objects is necessary for survival. How are receptive fields in visual brain areas organized to extract information about size? Recent studies from the zebrafish optic tectum and the...
