LNLN model modified from Barbera et al. 2022
People involved: Yizhan Miao
Short Abstract: In Barbera et al. 2022, model of V1 cell with only one subunit was used to simulate cross-orientation interactions in mouse. However, V1 neurons typically have an “on” and an “off” subunit. Here, I will build a new version of this model with "on" and "off" subunits and compare the magnitude and sensitivity of this interactions with those of the original model.
Milestones:
- replicate the model (LNLN model) from Barbera et al. 2022 in Python.
- modify the model with On and Off subunits and make comparisons
- time permitting, I will add "on-off" subunits to investigate if this type of relay cell would also contribute to the cross-orientation interactions in mouse.
