Synaptic Plasticity Can Produce and Enhance Direction Selectivity

The discrimination of the direction of movement of sensory images is critical to the control of many animal behaviors. We propose a parsimonious model of motion processing that generates direction selective responses using short-term synaptic depression and can reproduce salient features of directio...
