Robust quantification of orientation selectivity and direction selectivity
Neurons in the visual cortex of all examined mammals exhibit orientation or direction tuning. New imaging techniques are allowing the circuit mechanisms underlying orientation and direction selectivity to be studied with clarity that was not possible a decade ago. However, these new techniques bring new challenges: robust quantitative measurements are needed to evaluate the findings from these ...
متن کاملCommentary: Robust quantification of orientation selectivity and direction selectivity
Citation: Tzvetanov T (2016) Commentary: Robust quantification of orientation selectivity and direction selectivity. Mazurek et al. (2014) provided an important step forward in changing the old-fashioned manner of reporting orientation and/or direction selectivity of cells that involved the infamous OI–orientation index, DI, and related quantities such as orientation bias and direction bias (OB...
متن کاملQuantification of gap junction selectivity.
Gap junctions, which are essential for functional coordination and homeostasis within tissues, permit the direct intercellular exchange of small molecules. The abundance and diversity of this exchange depends on the number and selectivity of the comprising channels and on the transjunctional gradient for and chemical character of the permeant molecules. Limited knowledge of functionally signifi...
متن کاملImproved Orientation Selectivity for Orientation Estimation
Filtering of an image with rotated versions of an orientation selective filter yields a set of images which can be stacked to form an orientation space. Orientation space provides a means of analyzing overlapping and touching anisotropic textures. A set of rotated k order directional derivatives yields a discrete orientation space, which allows interpolation. Next we apply a deconvolution schem...
متن کاملLong-term down-regulation of GABA decreases orientation selectivity without affecting direction selectivity in mouse primary visual cortex
Inhibitory interneurons play important roles in the development of brain functions. In the visual cortex, functional maturation of inhibitory interneurons is essential for ocular dominance plasticity. However, roles of inhibitory interneurons in the development of orientation and direction selectivity, fundamental properties of primary visual cortex, are less understood. We examined orientation...
