Modeling the Functional Organization of the Visual Cortex
While many models of the dynamics and interactions of single neu rons are extant analogous constructs which attempt to describe large scale O neuronal activity are few and far between Optical imaging of the visual cortex makes such macroscopic neu ronal activity accessible Symmetries latent in the cortical architec ture are used here to develop a scheme for analyzing such images In this way int...

While many models of the dynamics and interactions of single neurons are extant, analogous constructs which attempt to describe large-scale (_>O(108)) neuronal activity are few and far between. Optical imaging of the visual cortex makes such macroscopic neuronal activity accessible. Symmetries latent in the cortical architecture are used here to develop a scheme for analyzing such images. In th...
متن کاملRetinotopic organization of human ventral visual cortex.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that human ventral visual cortex anterior to human visual area V4 contains two visual field maps, VO-1 and VO-2, that together form the ventral occipital (VO) cluster (Brewer et al., 2005). This cluster is characterized by common functional response properties and responds preferentially to color and object stimuli. Here, we confirm the t...
متن کاملA Nonvisual Look at the Functional Organization of Visual Cortex
In this issue of Neuron, Mahon et al. show that the ventral visual cortex of congenitally blind individuals, who have never experienced the visual world, has an object-category organization similar to that found in sighted individuals. Here, we discuss the implications of this finding for our understanding of the "visual" cortex.
متن کاملFunctional organization of visual cortex in the owl monkey.
In this study, we compared the organization of orientation preference in visual areas V1, V2, and V3. Within these visual areas, we also quantified the relationship between orientation preference and cytochrome oxidase (CO) staining patterns. V1 maps of orientation preference contained both pinwheels and linear zones. The location of CO blobs did not relate in a systematic way to maps of orient...
