Local potential connectivity in cat primary visual cortex.
Time invariant description of synaptic connectivity in cortical circuits may be precluded by the ongoing growth and retraction of dendritic spines accompanied by the formation and elimination of synapses. On the other hand, the spatial arrangement of axonal and dendritic branches appears stable. This suggests that an invariant description of connectivity can be cast in terms of potential synaps...
متن کاملMembrane potential and firing rate in cat primary visual cortex.
We have investigated the relationship between membrane potential and firing rate in cat visual cortex and found that the spike threshold contributes substantially to the sharpness of orientation tuning. The half-width at half-height of the tuning of the spike responses was 23 +/- 8 degrees, compared with 38 +/- 15 degrees for the membrane potential responses. Direction selectivity was also grea...
متن کاملSurround Modulation Characteristics of Local Field Potential and Spiking Activity in Primary Visual Cortex of Cat
In primary visual cortex, spiking activity that evoked by stimulus confined in receptive field can be modulated by surround stimulus. This center-surround interaction is hypothesized to be the basis of visual feature integration and segregation. Spiking output has been extensively reported to be surround suppressive. However, less is known about the modulation properties of the local field pote...
متن کاملOxygenation of the cat primary visual cortex.
Tissue PO2 was measured in the primary visual cortex of anesthetized, artificially ventilated normovolemic cats to examine tissue oxygenation with respect to depth. The method utilized 1) a chamber designed to maintain cerebrospinal fluid pressure and prevent ambient PO2 from influencing the brain, 2) a microelectrode capable of recording electrical activity as well as local PO2, and 3) recordi...
متن کاملProperties of the flash visual evoked potential recorded in the cat primary visual cortex
The flash visual evoked potential (F-VEP), elicited by a 100 ms diffuse light flash presented at 2 Hz, was examined in the cat primary visual cortex (Area 17). Intracortical F-VEP depth profiles were recorded to characterize waveform changes with electrode depth. A positive surface component, with a latency of 200 ms, was the dominant waveform feature within the cortex, reversing in polarity an...
