The effects of short-term synaptic depression at thalamocortical synapses on orientation tuning in cat V1.

We examine the effects of short-term synaptic depression on the orientation tuning of the LGN input to simple cells in cat primary visual cortex (V1). The total LGN input has an untuned component as well as a tuned component, both of which grow with stimulus contrast. The untuned component is not vi...
