Background Introduction The field of psychiatry has long relied on symptoms and medical interviews for diagnosis, lacking objective biomarkers. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is widely believed to reveal characteristic patterns of brain structure and function, thereby providing potential classification markers for the...

Study on Orientation-Tuned Gain Control Mechanisms in the Visual Cortex Academic Background Visual perception is a complex neural process influenced by contextual environments. Surround suppression is an important phenomenon that describes how the perceived contrast of a stimulus is attenuated when surrounded by other stimuli. The neural mechanisms...
