The dynamics of sensory input changes with organisms behaviour and environmental context. The contextual variations may induce textgreater 100 fold change in the parameters of the stimulation an animal experiences. Thus, it is vital for the organism to adapt to the new diet of stimulation. The response properties of neurons, in turn, dynamically adjus ... |
