“…), and interesting insights have recently shed more light on reception and processing in the sensory synapses of the visual system (Regus‐Leidig & Brandstätter ). Nonlinear synaptic transmission, as also occurs in the motor system (Henriksson ), is critical in the generation of visual impressions and has recently given rise to a number of novel modelling approaches (Schwartz & Rieke ). Studying plasticity, the basis of amazing regenerative potential as well as a number of pathophysiological mechanisms (Filipović ), has let researchers make important steps towards the analysis of the contribution of individual areas of visual perception to the generation of a visual impression (Huxlin ).…”
