Binocular Integration of Visual Information: A Model Study on Naturalistic Optic Flow Processing
The computation of visual information from both visual hemispheres is often of functional relevance when solving orientation and navigation tasks. The vCH-cell is a motion-sensitive wide-field neuron in the visual system of the blowfly Calliphora, a model system in the field of optic flow processing. The vCH-cell receives input from various other identified wide-field cells, the receptive field...
متن کاملSynaptophysin-Positive Neurons in External And Extreme Capsules in Human Brain
Purpose: Externaland extreme capsules are parts of cerebral white matter, and accordingto the classic knowledge they must have no neuronal cell bodies.This researchis designedto find neurons in the external and extreme capsules, and to determine that these neurons are functional or aberrant. Materitais and Methods: Ten adult normal human brains from both sexes were studied using 15,µm serial c...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Approach for the Study of Deformation of Red Cells in Narrow Capillaries
This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...
متن کاملBinocular contributions to optic flow processing in the fly visual system.
Integrating binocular motion information tunes wide-field direction-selective neurons in the fly optic lobe to respond preferentially to specific optic flow fields. This is shown by measuring the local preferred directions (LPDs) and local motion sensitivities (LMSs) at many positions within the receptive fields of three types of anatomically identifiable lobula plate tangential neurons: the th...
متن کاملDendritic structure and receptive-field organization of optic flow processing interneurons in the fly.
The third visual neuropil (lobula plate) of the blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala is a center for processing motion information. It contains, among others, 10 individually identifiable "vertical system" (VS) neurons responding to visual wide-field motions of arbitrary patterns. We demonstrate that each VS neuron is tuned to sense a particular aspect of optic flow that is generated during self-m...
