Context Integration in Visual Processing: A Computational Model of Center-Surround Suppression in the Visual System

Christoph Metzner, Achim Schweikard, B. Zurowski

Abstract

A dysfunction of GABAergic neurotransmission is hypothesized to be an important factor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia [1], depression and anxiety disorders. Findings of decreased center-surround suppression (CSS, i.e. the mutual inhibition of a focal visual stimulus and its surrounding) have been interpreted in terms of GABAergic dysfunction [2]. Consistently, strongly decreased CSS is reported in schizophrenic patients [3]. However, the underlying mechanisms of this decrease remain unclear.
