Approximate Hubel-Wiesel Modules and the Data Structures of Neural Computation

چکیده
This paper describes a framework for modeling the interface between perception and memory on the algorithmic level of analysis. It is consistent with phenomena associated with many different brain regions. These include view-dependence (and invariance) effects in visual psychophysics [1, 2] and inferotemporal cortex physiology [3, 4], as well as episodic memory recall interference effects associated with the medial temporal lobe [5, 6]. The perspective developed here relies on a novel interpretation of Hubel and Wiesel’s conjecture for how receptive fields tuned to complex objects, and invariant to details, could be achieved [7]. It complements existing accounts of two-speed learning systems in neocortex and hippocampus (e.g., [8, 9]) while significantly expanding their scope to encompass a unified view of the entire pathway from V1 to hippocampus.

Nonlinear dendrites enable robust stimulus selectivity
Hubel and Wiesel discovered that some neurons in the visual cortex (1) respond selectively to elongated visual stimuli of a particular orientation, proposing an elegant feedforward model to account for this selectivity. Since then, there has been much experimental support for this model, however several unexpected results, from in vivo two photon imaging of the dendrites of layer 2/3 pyramidal ...
متن کاملNeural Mechanisms for the Generation of Visual Complex Cells
In 1962, Hubel and Wiesel reported what they later described as "the first description of a clear function for the cerebral cortex, in terms of clear differences between input and output". Martinez and Alonso (2001[this issue of Neuron]) now provide evidence for the hierarchical neural circuit that Hubel and Wiesel proposed to explain the cortical transformation from simple to complex cells.

متن کاملMy recollections of Hubel and Wiesel and a brief review of functional circuitry in the visual pathway.
The first paper of Hubel and Wiesel in The Journal of Physiology in 1959 marked the beginning of an exciting chapter in the history of visual neuroscience. Through a collaboration that lasted 25 years, Hubel and Wiesel described the main response properties of visual cortical neurons, the functional architecture of visual cortex and the role of visual experience in shaping cortical architecture...
