Retinal Input Instructs Alignment of Visual Topographic Maps
Sensory information is represented in the brain in the form of topographic maps, in which neighboring neurons respond to adjacent external stimuli. In the visual system, the superior colliculus receives topographic projections from the retina and primary visual cortex (V1) that are aligned. Alignment may be achieved through the use of a gradient of shared axon guidance molecules, or through a r...
متن کاملTopographic maps of visual spatial attention in human parietal cortex.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure activity in human parietal cortex during performance of a visual detection task in which the focus of attention systematically traversed the visual field. Critically, the stimuli were identical on all trials (except for slight contrast changes in a fully randomized selection of the target locations) whereas only the cued location ...
متن کاملTopographic Maps
We call "natural" image any photograph of an outdoor or indoor scene taken by a standard camera. We discuss the physical generation process of natural images as a combination of occlusions, transparencies and contrast changes. This description ts to the phenomeno-logical description of Gaetano Kanizsa according to which visual perception tends to remain stable with respect to these basic operat...
متن کاملTemporal processing across multiple topographic maps in the electrosensory system.
Multiple topographic representations of sensory space are common in the nervous system and presumably allow organisms to separately process particular features of incoming sensory stimuli that vary widely in their attributes. We compared the response properties of sensory neurons within three maps of the body surface that are arranged strictly in parallel to two classes of stimuli that mimic pr...
متن کاملSensory maps: Aligning maps of visual and auditory space
Survival, for predator or prey, may turn on the fraction of a second it takes an animal to centre its gaze on the source of a sound or movement detected in its periphery. Central to the performance of this task is a nucleus in the midbrain called, in mammals, the superior colliculus. This structure combines sensory information with signals from motor areas and computes an output to control the ...
