Cerebral Cortex: The Singular Precision of Visual Cortex Maps
A remarkable new technique, two-photon confocal fluorescence microscopy, has revealed an extraordinarily precise organization in the visual cortex. The methodology seems set to become the tool of choice for studying cortical maps.
متن کاملEffects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex
TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
متن کاملComputational Maps in the Visual Cortex
ing the possible sources of ocular dominance, the LISSOM OD model above was based on inputs that differ in brightness in the two eyes (like the models of Bauer, Brockmann, and Geisel 1997; Riesenhuber, Bauer, Brockmann, and Geisel 1998). Some previous models have shown that OD maps might instead result from retinal disparity, i.e. differences in feature position in each eye (Burger and Lang 199...
متن کاملMaps in the Primary Visual Cortex
The operational characteristics of a linear neural network image processing system based on the brain’s vision system are investigated. The final stage of the network consists of edge detectors of various orienations arranged in a feature map, corresponding to the primary visual cortex, or V1. The lateral geniculate nucleus is modeled as a preprocessing stage. Excitatory forward and inhibitory ...
متن کاملVisual Field Maps in Human Cortex
Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual field maps with each species having similar, but not identical, maps. The introduction of functional magnetic resonance imaging made it possible to identify visual field maps in human cortex, including several near...
