Interocular transfer of receptive field expansion in cat visual cortex
Receptive fields in primary visual cortex have been shown to be capable of rapid expansion and contraction when exposed to an artificial scotoma, a masked segment of the visual field. To distinguish cortical from thalamic contributions to receptive field mutability, we tested interocular transfer of the effect in binocular cortical receptive fields, presenting the conditioning stimulus to the f...
متن کاملEffect of phasic electrical locus coeruleus stimulation on inhibitory and excitatory receptive fields of layer V barrel cortex neurons in male rat
Introduction: It is believed that Locus Coeruleus (LC) influences the sensory information processing. However, its role in cortical surround inhibitory mechanism is not understood. In this experiment, using controlled mechanical displacement of whiskers we investigated the effect of phasic electrical stimulation of LC on response of layer V barrel cortical neurons in anesthetized rat. Methods: ...
متن کاملReversal of the physiological effects of monocular deprivation in the kitten's visual cortex.
1. Twenty-three kittens were monocularly deprived of vision until the age of 4, 5, 6 or 7 weeks. Their deprived eyes were then opened, and their experienced eyes shut for a further 3-63 days. After this time physiological recordings were made in the visual cortex, area 17. Three control kittens, monocularly deprived for various periods, showed that at the time of reverse-suturing, few neurones ...
متن کاملThe receptive fields of Daphnia ommatidia.
1. The focal length and positions of the principal planes of an isolated Daphnia lens were determined, and the refractive index of the rhabdom was measured. 2. The lens can form an image, but this always lies well behind the rhabdom. This was confirmed by direct observation of images inside a clear-eye mutant Daphnia eye. 3. The rhabdom was shown to be unlikely to function as a waveguide, and a...
متن کاملVisual receptive fields of striate cortex neurons in awake monkeys.
THE EXPERIMENTS of Lettvin and colleagues (25) and Hubel and Wiesel (19) have indicated that a neuron in the vertebrate visual system is sensitive to particular characteristics of the visual stimulus. These characteristics have been referred to as the “trigger features” of the stimulus (3) and include such factors as size, shape, orientation, color, and rate and direction of movement; the area ...
