lateral inhibition

lateral inhibition Lateral inhibition is a visual-system coding process in which interneurons collect input from neighboring cells and send inhibitory feedback to them.

Lateral inhibition is a visual-system coding process in which interneurons collect input from neighboring cells and send inhibitory feedback to them. In the retina, this creates center-surround receptive fields that sharpen spatial contrast and help explain how nearby areas can change perceived brightness.
