Columnar distribution of serotonin-dependent plasticity within kitten striate cortex.
Recent studies have identified the potential for an important role for serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the developmental plasticity of the kitten visual cortex. 5-HT(2C) receptors are transiently expressed in a patchy fashion in the visual cortex of kittens between 30-80 days of age complementary to patches demarcated by cytochrome oxidase staining. 5-HT, operating via 5-HT(2C) receptors, increas...
متن کاملFunctional anatomy of macaque striate cortex. V. Spatial frequency.
When macaque monkeys view achromatic, sinusoidal gratings of a single spatial frequency, the pattern of 14C-2-deoxy-d-glucose (DG) uptake produced by the gratings is shown to depend on the spatial frequency chosen. When a relatively high (5-7 cycles/deg) spatial frequency is shown binocularly at systematically varied orientations, uptake in parafoveal striate cortex is highest between the cytoc...
متن کاملThe derivation of direction selectivity in the striate cortex.
In the central visual pathway of binocular animals, the property of directional selectivity (DS) is first exhibited in striate cortex. In this study, we sought to determine the neural circuitry underlying the transformation from non-DS neurons to DS cortical cells. In a well established model, DS receptive fields (RFs) are derived from the sum of two non-DS inputs with 90 degrees (quadrature) s...
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...
متن کاملEffects of 6-hydroxydopamine on visual deprivation in the kitten striate cortex.
We tested the effects of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on two forms of visual deprivation--monocular and directional deprivation. In normal kittens monocular deprivation leads to a change in the ocular dominance histogram recorded from the visual cortex, and directional deprivation leads to a change in the percentage of directionally sensitive cells responding to the appropriate direction of movem...
