Link between orientation and retinotopic maps in primary visual cortex.
Maps representing the preference of neurons for the location and orientation of a stimulus on the visual field are a hallmark of primary visual cortex. It is not yet known how these maps develop and what function they play in visual processing. One hypothesis postulates that orientation maps are initially seeded by the spatial interference of ON- and OFF-center retinal receptive field mosaics. ...
متن کاملA link between visual disambiguation and visual memory.
Sensory information in the retinal image is typically too ambiguous to support visual object recognition by itself. Theories of visual disambiguation posit that to disambiguate, and thus interpret, the incoming images, the visual system must integrate the sensory information with previous knowledge of the visual world. However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. Using functional m...
متن کاملThe Sensory Components of High-Capacity Iconic Memory and Visual Working Memory
EARLY VISUAL MEMORY CAN BE SPLIT INTO TWO PRIMARY COMPONENTS: a high-capacity, short-lived iconic memory followed by a limited-capacity visual working memory that can last many seconds. Whereas a large number of studies have investigated visual working memory for low-level sensory features, much research on iconic memory has used more "high-level" alphanumeric stimuli such as letters or numbers...
متن کاملWorking memory in the primary visual cortex.
T he primary visual cortex is the first cortical area of the visual system that receives information from the external visual world. Neurons in the primary visual cortex have small receptive fields and respond to basic elements of the visual scene. Recent findings, however, show that the primary visual cortex is also involved in cognitive processes, such as visual perception and working memory....
متن کاملNeural Anatomy of Primary Visual Cortex Limits Visual Working Memory.
Despite the immense processing power of the human brain, working memory storage is severely limited, and the neuroanatomical basis of these limitations has remained elusive. Here, we show that the stable storage limits of visual working memory for over 9 s are bound by the precise gray matter volume of primary visual cortex (V1), defined by fMRI retinotopic mapping. Individuals with a bigger V1...
