Cooperative filtering and transmission of visual information
We applied information-theoretic methods to multi-electrode array recordings in the primary visual cortex of cats to quantify the cooperation and temporal structure that arise in the responses of neural populations to drifting sinusoid gratings. The temporal structure and joint firing in these responses contributed information useful for discriminating small (<10o) orientation differences. The ...
متن کاملVisual adaptation as optimal information transmission
We propose that visual adaptation in orientation, spatial frequency, and motion can be understood from the perspective of optimal information transmission. The essence of the proposal is that neural response properties at the system level should be adjusted to the changing statistics of the input so as to maximize information transmission. We show that this principle accounts for several well-d...
متن کاملUse of Colchicine in Cortical Area 1 of the Hippocampus Impairs Transmission of Non-Motivational Information by the Pyramidal Cells
Colchicine, a potent neurotoxin derived from plants, has been recently introduced as a degenerative toxin of small pyramidal cells in the cortical area 1 of the hippocampus (CA1). In this study, the effect of the alkaloid in CA1 on the behaviors in the conditioning task was measured. Injections of colchicine (1,5 μg/rat, intra-CA1) was performed in the male Wistar rats, while the animals were s...
متن کامل1 Hemispheric Asymmetry for Components of Visual Information Processing
The left and right cerebral hemispheres of humans do not handle all aspects of visual information processing with equal ability. Instead, each hemisphere is better able than its partner to handle certain components of processing. Although there continues to be uncertainly surrounding exactly what the relevant components are, it has proved useful to decompose tasks into those processing componen...
