Abstract

Receptive fields have long been central to understanding signal processing in the visual system. Initially defined as the region of visual space that influences a given neuron’s activity, receptive fields are now recognized to encompass additional dimensions such as time and color. This multidimensional representation provides a window into how visual neurons filter incoming stimuli. In the retina, receptive fields emerge from neuronal processing by a multi-layered circuit. Recent research on temporal, chromatic, and adaptive processing in the retina has revealed more complex receptive fields than were initially recognized. This review emphasizes new research on receptive fields in the retina and highlights approaches that promise to expand our understanding of retinal receptive fields.

视网膜神经元的接受野：新的主题和变化

长期以来，感受野一直是理解视觉系统信号处理的核心。最初被定义为影响给定神经元活动的视觉空间区域，现在被认为包括额外的维度，如时间和颜色。这种多维表征为研究视觉神经元如何过滤传入的刺激提供了一个窗口。在视网膜中，接受野是由多层电路的神经元处理产生的。最近对视网膜的时间、颜色和适应性处理的研究揭示了比最初认识到的更复杂的接受野。这篇综述强调了视网膜感受野的新研究，并强调了有望扩大我们对视网膜感受野的理解的方法。

期刊介绍： Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
