Lateral inhibition helps to explain a number of "optical illusions" and, more importantly, provides an excellent example of how the brain is organized to ... To understand lateral inhibition networks and their function, one needs to know a bit about the gross anatomy, optics, and initial neural signals of the eye.

Lateral inhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In neurobiology, lateral inhibition is the capacity of an excited neuron to reduce the activity of its neighbors. Georg von Békésy, in his book Sensory Inhibition , explores a wide range of inhibi...

Often, light can fall onto both light and dark photoreceptors causing the two regions to compete with one another. One part of the receptive field wants to become active while the other part does not. This competitive interaction is called Lateral Inhibition.

Lateral Inhibition and Adaptation ... Most sensory tissue (retina of the eye, cochlea of the ear, pressure sensitive nerves of the skin) and even portions of the brain, is organized so that stimulation of any given location produces inhibition of the surrounding nerve fibers, the effect, called lateral inhibition,

A negative interaction between sites, also known as "lateral inhibition" (Triller and Korn, 1985 ; Korn et al., 1994 ), has also arisen at hippocampal terminals, at which a decrease in release probability follows stimulation, fading away with a time constant of ~6 msec (Stevens and Wang, 1995 ;
