The laminar development of direction selectivity in ferret visual cortex.
Sensory experience plays a critical role in the development of cortical circuits. At the time of eye opening, visual cortical neurons in the ferret exhibit orientation selectivity, but lack direction selectivity, which is a feature of mature cortical neurons in this species. Direction selectivity emerges in the days and weeks following eye opening via a process that requires visual experience. ...
متن کاملDirection Selectivity In Primary Visual Cortex Using Massive Intracortical Connections
Almost all models of orientation and direction selectivity in visual cortex are based on feedforward connection schemes, where geniculate input provides all excitation to both pyramidal and inhibitory neurons. The latter neurons then suppress the response of the former for non-optimal stimuli. However, anatomical studies show that up to 90 % of the excitatory synaptic input onto any cortical ce...
متن کاملNeural circuits for direction selectivity in visual cortex
Variance adaptation processes have recently been examined in cells of the !y visual system and various vertebrate preparations. To better understand the contributions of somatic mechanisms to this kind of adaptation, we recorded intracellularly in vitro from neurons of rat sensorimotor cortex. The cells were stimulated with a noise current whose standard deviation was varied parametrically. We ...
متن کاملThe spatial pattern of response magnitude and selectivity for orientation and direction in cat visual cortex.
Optical imaging studies of orientation and direction preference in visual cortex have typically used vector averaging to obtain angle and magnitude maps. This method has shown half-rotation orientation singularities (pinwheels) located within regions of low orientation vector magnitude. Direction preference is generally orthogonal to orientation preference, but often deviates from this, particu...
متن کاملSpatial frequency selectivity of cells in macaque visual cortex.
We measured the spatial frequency contrast sensitivity of cells in the primate striate cortex at two different eccentricities to provide quantitative statistics from a large population of cells. Distributions of the peak frequencies and bandwidths are presented and examined in relationship to (a) each other, (b) absolute contrast sensitivity, (c) orientation tuning, (d)retinal eccentricity, and...
