How these cells code together a complex visual scene is unclear. A common assumption is that cells of a single-type extract a single-stimulus feature to form a feature map, but this has rarely been observed directly. Using large-scale recordings in the rat retina, we show that a homogeneous population of fast OFF ganglion cells simultaneously encodes two radically different features of a visual scene. Cells close to a moving object code quasilinearly for its position, while distant cells remain largely invariant to the object's position and, instead, respond nonlinearly to changes in the object's speed. We develop a quantitative model that accounts for this effect and identify a disinhibitory circuit that mediates it. Ganglion cells of a single type thus do not code for one, but two features simultaneously. This richer, flexible neural map might also be present in other sensory systems."}],"project":[{"_id":"25CD3DD2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"604102","name":"Localization of ion channels and receptors by two and three-dimensional immunoelectron microscopic approaches","call_identifier":"FP7"},{"grant_number":"P 25651-N26","_id":"254D1A94-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Sensitivity to higher-order statistics in natural scenes"}],"department":[{"_id":"GaTk"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000417241200004"]},"ddc":["571"],"pubrep_id":"921","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"volume":8,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2041-1723"]},"file":[{"date_updated":"2018-12-12T10:16:06Z","file_name":"IST-2018-921-v1+1_s41467-017-02159-y.pdf","file_size":2872887,"file_id":"5191","creator":"system","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:16:06Z","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access"}],"article_number":"1964","type":"journal_article","issue":"1","file_date_updated":"2018-12-12T10:16:06Z","author":[{"full_name":"Deny, Stephane","first_name":"Stephane","last_name":"Deny"},{"first_name":"Ulisse","full_name":"Ferrari, Ulisse","last_name":"Ferrari"},{"last_name":"Mace","first_name":"Emilie","full_name":"Mace, Emilie"},{"last_name":"Yger","first_name":"Pierre","full_name":"Yger, Pierre"},{"first_name":"Romain","full_name":"Caplette, Romain","last_name":"Caplette"},{"last_name":"Picaud","first_name":"Serge","full_name":"Picaud, Serge"},{"last_name":"Tkacik","id":"3D494DCA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6699-1455","full_name":"Tkacik, Gasper","first_name":"Gasper"},{"first_name":"Olivier","full_name":"Marre, Olivier","last_name":"Marre"}],"citation":{"ista":"Deny S, Ferrari U, Mace E, Yger P, Caplette R, Picaud S, Tkačik G, Marre O. 2017.
