Receptive fields and functional architecture in the retina.
Functional architecture of the striate cortex is known mostly at the tissue level--how neurons of different function distribute across its depth and surface on a scale of millimetres. But explanations for its design--why it is just so--need to be addressed at the synaptic level, a much finer scale where the basic description is still lacking. Functional architecture of the retina is known from ...
متن کاملVisual receptive fields in the cat's retina: complications.
Visual receptive fields have been mapped with moving patterns in the cat's retinal ganglion cells. A small, general-purpose computer was used to collect a matrix of 2500 data points covering a 25 degrees -by-25 degrees region of space. The analysis of 40 units reveals the existence of many nonconcentric receptive fields and also the presence of line and edge detectors.
متن کاملReceptive Fields and Functional Architecture in Two Nonstriate Visual Areas (18 and 19) of the Cat.
To UNDERSTAND VISION in physiological terms represents a formidable problem for the biologist. I t am0 unts to learning how the nervous system handles incoming messages so that form, color, movement, and depth can be perceived and interpreted. One approach, perhaps the most direct, is to stimulate the retina with patterns of light while recording from single cells or fibers at various points al...
متن کاملMosaic arrangement of ganglion cell receptive fields in rabbit retina.
The arrangement of ganglion cell receptive fields on the retinal surface should constrain several properties of vision, including spatial resolution. Anatomic and physiological studies on the mammalian retina have shown that the receptive fields of several types of ganglion cells tile the retinal surface, with the degree of receptive field overlap apparently being similar for the different clas...
متن کاملReceptive profiles induce functional architecture of V1
In this work we show how to construct connectivity kernels induced by the receptive profiles of simple cells of the primary visual cortex (V1). These kernels are directly defined by the shape of such profiles: this provides a metric model for the functional architecture of V1, whose global geometry is determined by the reciprocal interactions between local elements. Our construction adapts to a...
