Dynamic Concerted Activities among Retinal Ganglion Cells

摘要：

Concerted firing is one of the important ways forneurons to encode sensory stimuli. In the present study, weinvestigated dynamic concerted activities among retinal ganglioncells (RGCs) in response to natural movie and pseudo-randomcheckerboard flicking stimuli. The results showed that concertedactivity patterns among RGCs changed dynamically during bothstimuli, which were represented by the number of synchronouslyactivated neurons and synchronous groups formed among theactivated neurons. During natural movie stimulation, concertedactivities were varying with time. On the contrary, the number ofsynchronized neurons and synchronous groups during pseudo-randomcheckerboard stimulation had a decreasing tendency.
