Summary: The study found that there are many neurons in the visual cortex that are selective to translational or rotational optic flow, with more neurons suppressed by binocular motion in the primary visual cortex. Disrupting retinal direction selectivity affects the number of neurons in different visual areas, blurring the functional distinction between primary and higher visual areas. Optic flow representations in specific areas of the visual cortex rely on binocular integration of motion information from the retina.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of asiatic acid (AA) on the quantity and function of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in chronic glaucoma rat models and how AA regulates synaptic pathways. The rat model was created by electrocoagulation of the episcleral veins. AA reduced the loss of RGCs caused by chronic glaucoma, decreased excitatory neurotransmission to RGCs, and increased inhibitory neurotransmission.

Summary: The study found that while some cells in the early visual system can be accurately predicted using linear receptive field models, many others show pronounced sensitivity to fine spatial contrast and local signal rectification. This highlights the diversity of receptive field nonlinearities as a crucial component for understanding early sensory encoding.

Summary: This article investigates how intrinsic properties shape the excitability and action potential generation in two different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The study demonstrates the impact of extracellular potassium concentration on the differences in intrinsic excitability among RGCs.

Summary: This article proposes an automatic current-sharing method for input-parallel output-parallel dual-active-bridge converters using coupled inductors to mitigate parameter mismatches issues and improve system reliability at a minimum cost. Design considerations of the coupled inductor for easy implementation are presented, along with the use of a passive selector to reduce module shading at light loads, guaranteeing high efficiencies across the loading range. Simulation and experimental results confirm successful current sharing under both steady and dynamic operations.

Summary: The study introduces an ISOP converter system with a two-stage dc-dc converter, including a non-isolated dc-dc converter and an isolated dc-dc converter, to achieve natural input voltage sharing and output current sharing. The LLC resonant converter used as DCX ensures a constant voltage gain, while the non-isolated converter has a simple topology and easy parameter matching.

Summary: This study proposes an asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme to address the issues of output voltage unbalance and voltage gain in the input-parallel output-series (IPOS) converter when D < 0.5. With this scheme, high step-up conversion ratio and natural output voltage balancing can be achieved when D < 0.5, eliminating the duty cycle limitation of the IPOS converter without the need for additional components or dedicated control.

Summary: Increasing stimulus frequency induces desensitization of retinal ganglion cells, while stimulus amplitude does not affect desensitization. Introducing variability into each pulse can partially overcome retinal desensitization.
