1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We have built a phenomenological spiking model of the cat early visual system comprising the retina, the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) and V1's layer 4, and established four main results (1) When exposed to videos that reproduce with high fidelity what a cat experiences under natural conditions, adjacent Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs) have spike-time correlations at a short timescale (~30 ms), despite neuronal noise and possible jitter accumulation. (2) In accordance with recent experimental findings, the LGN filters out some noise. It thus increases the spike reliability and temporal precision, the sparsity, and, importantly, further decreases down to ~15 ms adjacent cells' correlation timescale. (3) Downstream simple cells in V1's layer 4, if equipped with Spike Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP), may detect these fine-scale cross-correlations, and thus connect principally to ON- and OFF-centre cells with Receptive Fields (RF) aligned in the visual space, and thereby become orientation selective, in accordance with Hubel and Wiesel (Journal of Physiology 160:106-154, 1962) classic model. Up to this point we dealt with continuous vision, and there was no absolute time reference such as a stimulus onset, yet information was encoded and decoded in the relative spike times. (4) We then simulated saccades to a static image and benchmarked relative spike time coding and time-to-first spike coding w.r.t. to saccade landing in the context of orientation representation. In both the retina and the LGN, relative spike times are more precise, less affected by pre-landing history and global contrast than absolute ones, and lead to robust contrast invariant orientation representations in V1.
