Functional Specialization of ON and OFF Cortical Pathways for Global-Slow and Local-Fast Vision

Summary: Visual information is processed in the cortex by ON and OFF pathways that respond to light and dark stimuli. Responses to darks are stronger, faster, and driven by a larger number of cortical neurons than responses to lights. Here, we demonstrate that these light-dark cortical asymmetries r...
