Emergence of Selectivity to Looming Stimuli in a Spiking Network Model of the Optic Tectum

The neural circuits in the optic tectum of Xenopus tadpoles are selectively responsive to looming visual stimuli that resemble objects approaching the animal at a collision trajectory. This selectivity is required for adaptive collision avoidance behavior in this species, but its underlying mechanis...
