Ever wondered why your visual perception barely changes when you shut one eye? We found narrow-spiking neurons in the human LGN that strongly increased their response when their preferred eye was shut. We think these interneurons reduce responses of relay cells responding to the shut eye.

Our paper showing the first ever recordings of spiking activity from neurons in the human lateral geniculate nucleus has just been published in Nature Communications! Congrats to the whole team. #neuroskyence @nin-knaw.bsky.social @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New publication in Journal of Vision! 📢 doi.org/10.1167/jov.... Orientation-tuned surround suppression isn't 'hard-wired', but only works when the surround appears to be part of the same 3D surface. Great work Jessy Possel 💪. #neuroskyence @nin-knaw.bsky.social @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social
