The functional diversity of retinal ganglion cells in the mouse

T Baden, P Berens, K Franke, M Román Rosón… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
In the vertebrate visual system, all output of the retina is carried by retinal ganglion cells.
Each type encodes distinct visual features in parallel for transmission to the brain. How many …

Understanding the retinal basis of vision across species

T Baden, T Euler, P Berens - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020 - nature.com
The vertebrate retina first evolved some 500 million years ago in ancestral marine chordates.
Since then, the eyes of different species have been tuned to best support their unique …

[PDF][PDF] A tale of two retinal domains: near-optimal sampling of achromatic contrasts in natural scenes through asymmetric photoreceptor distribution

T Baden, T Schubert, L Chang, T Wei, M Zaichuk… - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
For efficient coding, sensory systems need to adapt to the distribution of signals to which they
are exposed. In vision, natural scenes above and below the horizon differ in the distribution …

[PDF][PDF] Benchmarking spike rate inference in population calcium imaging

…, E Froudarakis, J Reimer, MR Rosón, T Baden… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
A fundamental challenge in calcium imaging has been to infer spike rates of neurons from
the measured noisy fluorescence traces. We systematically evaluate different spike inference …

[PDF][PDF] Zebrafish differentially process color across visual space to match natural scenes

…, D Osorio, DE Nilsson, P Berens, T Baden - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com
Animal eyes have evolved to process behaviorally important visual information, but how
retinas deal with statistical asymmetries in visual space remains poorly understood. Using …

An arbitrary-spectrum spatial visual stimulator for vision research

…, P Bartel, Y Qiu, KP Szatko, T Baden… - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.48779.001 Visual neuroscientists require accurate control of visual stimulation.
However, few stimulator solutions simultaneously offer high spatio-temporal resolution and …

Retinal bipolar cells: elementary building blocks of vision

…, S Haverkamp, T Schubert, T Baden - Nature Reviews …, 2014 - nature.com
Retinal bipolar cells are the first'projection neurons' of the vertebrate visual system—all of the
information needed for vision is relayed by this intraretinal connection. Each of the at least …

Ancestral circuits for vertebrate color vision emerge at the first retinal synapse

…, FK Janiak, F St-Pierre, P Berens, T Baden - Science …, 2021 - science.org
For color vision, retinal circuits separate information about intensity and wavelength. In
vertebrates that use the full complement of four “ancestral” cone types, the nature and …

[HTML][HTML] Open Labware: 3-D printing your own lab equipment

T Baden, AM Chagas, G Gage, T Marzullo… - PLoS …, 2015 - journals.plos.org
The introduction of affordable, consumer-oriented 3-D printers is a milestone in the current “maker
movement,” which has been heralded as the next industrial revolution. Combined with …

Inhibition decorrelates visual feature representations in the inner retina

…, P Berens, T Schubert, M Bethge, T Euler, T Baden - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The retina extracts visual features for transmission to the brain. Different types of bipolar cell
split the photoreceptor input into parallel channels and provide the excitatory drive for …
