Spike synchrony reveals emergence of proto-objects in visual cortex.
Neurons at early stages of the visual cortex signal elemental features, such as pieces of contour, but how these signals are organized into perceptual objects is unclear. Theories have proposed that spiking synchrony between these neurons encodes how features are grouped (binding-by-synchrony), but recent studies did not find the predicted increase in synchrony with binding. Here we propose tha...
متن کاملSynchrony between Neurons with Similar Muscle Fields in Monkey Motor Cortex
Synchronous firing of motor cortex cells exhibiting postspike facilitation (PSF) or suppression (PSS) of hand muscle EMG was examined to investigate the relationship between synchrony and output connectivity. Recordings were made in macaque monkeys performing a precision grip task. Synchronization was assessed with cross-correlation histograms of the activity from 144 pairs of simultaneously re...
متن کاملDynamic synchrony of firing in the monkey prefrontal cortex during working-memory tasks.
Synchronized firing among neurons in the working brain is inferred to reflect coding by cell assemblies, which dynamically change their sizes and functional connections to encode various information. It therefore follows that, if synchronized firing reflects cell-assembly coding, it should show dynamic changes that depend on the tasks and events being processed and on the distance between the n...
متن کاملRepresentation of central visual fields in prestriate cortex of monkey.
In 1941, Talbot and Marshall 16 reported the manner in which the visual fields are represented in striate cortex of monkey. From this study, later confirmed by Daniel and Whitteridge 6, it appeared that the vertical meridian of the lower and upper visual fields is represented at the striate prestriate boundary behind the lunate and above the inferior occipital sulci respectively with the foveal...
متن کاملRepresentation of stereoscopic edges in monkey visual cortex
Form perception in random-dot stereograms is based on information that resides in the correlation between the two images, but is not present in either image alone. We have studied the coding of stereoscopic figures in the neural activity of areas V1 and V2 of alert behaving monkeys. While cells in V1 generally responded according to the disparity of the surface at the receptive field, we found ...
