Temporal Organization of Synaptic Input and Intrinsic Excitability Shape Direction Selectivity in the Developing Xenopus laevis Optic Tectum

A moving object passes through locations in visual space in a particular order. To istinguish opposite directions of motion, visual circuits must convert this temporal order into different direction selective neuronal responses. This ability emerges and is refined as visual circuits develop. In Xenopus laevis tadpoles,...
