Medial Axes Neuronal Codification in Topographical Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple neuronal model for medial axes codification in biological vision systems is presented which is based on the concept of the propagation of wavefronts along topographically organized cortical structures.

A Complex Network Approach to Topographical Connections
The neuronal networks in the mammals cortex are characterized by the coexistence of hierarchy, modularity, short and long range interactions, spatial correlations, and topographical connections. Particularly interesting, the latter type of organization implies special demands on developing systems in order to achieve precise maps preserving spatial adjacencies, even at the expense of isometry. ...
متن کاملBOLD matches neuronal activity at the mm scale: A combined 7 T fMRI and ECoG study in human sensorimotor cortex
High resolution BOLD fMRI has the potential to map activation patterns of small neuronal populations at the scale of cortical columns. However, BOLD fMRI does not measure neuronal activity, but only a correlate thereof, since it measures blood dynamics. To confirm that BOLD activation maps reflect neuronal population activity patterns, a direct comparison with neuro-electrophysiological data fr...
متن کاملSpatial Distortions in Visual Short-term Memory: Interplay of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Reference Systems
Spatial short-term memory for single target positions is subject to distortions which depend on the spatial layout of visual landmarks. Here, participants had to reproduce the positions of briefly presented targets in the context of three-landmark configurations presented in various orientations. Symmetry properties of distortional patterns were determined by the intrinsic reference system of t...
متن کاملUnilateral Temporal Lobectomy Patients show Lateralised Topographical and Episodic Memory Deficits in a Virtual Town
Abbreviations: RTL = Right temporal lobectomy, LTL = Left temporal lobectomy ABSTRACT A large-scale virtual reality town was used to test the topographical and episodic memory of patients with unilateral temporal lobe damage. Seventeen right and 13 left temporal lobectomy patients were compared with 16 healthy matched control subjects. After they had explored the town, subjects' topographical m...
متن کاملEffects of Topographical Factors on Distribution of Plant Communities in Semi-Steppe Grasslands (Case Study: Ghorkhud Region, Northern Khorasan Province, Iran)
Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of topographical factors on the classification of grassland plant communities in the rangelands of Ghorkhud, Northern Khorasan Province, Iran. For sampling, land units were specified. A floristic list was prepared using minimal area method based on the nested plot (Braun-Blanquet method). 116 10m2 furrows were selected. Within e...
