视网膜处理：小婴儿被连洗澡水一起倒掉了。（此译文可能需要结合上下文进一步理解其确切含义，单从字面看这样翻译。这里用“连洗澡水一起倒掉”来比喻一种不恰当的整体舍弃情况）

Abstract

Rod bipolar cells in the mammalian retina receive synaptic input from many noisy rod photoreceptors. When photons are scarce, linear addition of inputs would swamp signals with noise. A nonlinearity at the synapse optimizes the signal to noise ratio.

摘要

哺乳动物视网膜中的视杆双极细胞接收来自许多有噪声的视杆光感受器的突触输入。当光子稀缺时，输入的线性叠加会使信号被噪声淹没。突触处的非线性优化了信噪比。
