Computer-Plotted Receptive Fields

چکیده
We read with interest the report by Holmsen and Leasure (1) in which they reported the growth-inhibiting property of tris(1-aziridinyl)phosphine oxide (APO) on grasses. We feel that one of the most important biological properties of the chemical was not mentioned in the report, namely, the ability to induce mutations. Indeed APO is a powerful mutagen; APO (or triethylenephosphoramide, TEPA) produces a high frequency of mutations in Bracon hebetor when the latter is allowed to walk on

متن کاملThe role of spiking local interneurons in shaping the receptive fields of intersegmental interneurons in the locust.
Intracellular recordings were made simultaneously from pairs of spiking local and intersegmental interneurons in the mesothoracic ganglion of the locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal). The spiking local interneurons belong to a midline group, and the intersegmental interneurons to a lateral-posterior population that projects ipsilaterally to the metathoracic ganglion. Both respond to mechanose...
متن کاملNetwork Receptive Field Modeling Reveals Extensive Integration and Multi-feature Selectivity in Auditory Cortical Neurons
Cortical sensory neurons are commonly characterized using the receptive field, the linear dependence of their response on the stimulus. In primary auditory cortex neurons can be characterized by their spectrotemporal receptive fields, the spectral and temporal features of a sound that linearly drive a neuron. However, receptive fields do not capture the fact that the response of a cortical neur...
متن کاملVisual receptive fields in the cat's retina: complications.
Visual receptive fields have been mapped with moving patterns in the cat's retinal ganglion cells. A small, general-purpose computer was used to collect a matrix of 2500 data points covering a 25 degrees -by-25 degrees region of space. The analysis of 40 units reveals the existence of many nonconcentric receptive fields and also the presence of line and edge detectors.
متن کاملDynamic texture recognition using time-causal and time-recursive spatio-temporal receptive fields
This work presents a first evaluation of using spatiotemporal receptive fields from a recently proposed time-causal spatio-temporal scale-space framework as primitives for video analysis. We propose a new family of video descriptors based on regional statistics of spatio-temporal receptive field responses and evaluate this approach on the problem of dynamic texture recognition. Our approach gen...
