Retinal motion patterns during locomotion are shaped by gait, gaze location, and the terrain, and these motion patterns may influence the way motion sensitivity and receptive field properties vary across the visual field.

The visual message conveyed by retinal neurons to the brain when signaling natural scenes resembles the individual receptive fields only when viewed in context of the neuronal population.
Peripheral retinal input transiently amplifies information transmission from ganglion cells, dynamically allocating the resources of neural activity to times of expected high information content.
The ability to smoothly perceive the environment across saccades without disturbing retinal motion sensations is generated by eye movement contingent habituation.

Neurite arbors of VGluT3-expressing amacrine cells (VG3-ACs) process visual information locally uniformly detecting object motion while varying in contrast preferences; and in spite of extensive overlap between arbors of neighboring cells population activity in the VG3-AC plexus encodes stimulus positions with subcellular precision.

High-resolution foveal imaging and micro-psychophysics reveal that the human oculomotor system finely adjusts drift motion of the eye in an acuity task to enhance retinal sampling, achieving sub-cell resolution.
Feedforward inhibition generates motion anticipation by selectively decreasing sensitivity to a stimulus as it moves across the latter part of a retinal ganglion cell's receptive field.
