First spike latency code for interaural phase difference discrimination in the guinea pig inferior colliculus.
First spike latency has been suggested as a source of the information required for fast discrimination tasks. However, the accuracy of such a mechanism has not been analyzed rigorously. Here, we investigate the utility of first spike latency for encoding information about the location of a sound source, based on the responses of inferior colliculus (IC) neurons in the guinea pig to interaural p...
متن کاملSubcortical orientation biases explain orientation selectivity of visual cortical cells
The primary visual cortex of carnivores and primates shows an orderly progression of domains of neurons that are selective to a particular orientation of visual stimuli such as bars and gratings. We recorded from single-thalamic afferent fibers that terminate in these domains to address the issue whether the orientation sensitivity of these fibers could form the basis of the remarkable orientat...
متن کاملEvidence That Primary Visual Cortex Is Required for Image, Orientation, and Motion Discrimination by Rats
The pigmented Long-Evans rat has proven to be an excellent subject for studying visually guided behavior including quantitative visual psychophysics. This observation, together with its experimental accessibility and its close homology to the mouse, has made it an attractive model system in which to dissect the thalamic and cortical circuits underlying visual perception. Given that visually gui...
متن کاملTesting Infants’ Discrimination With the Orientation Latency Procedure
A new discrimination procedure based on the measurement of visual orientation latency to speech stimuli is introduced. Each participant listens to a series of short familiarization test trials. In each trial, 5 to 7 centrally-presented familiarization stimuli are followed by laterally-presented test stimuli. Infants were found to orient faster to different-category than to same-category test st...
متن کاملPrimary Cortical Dynamics for Visual Grouping
The classical receptive elds of V1 neurons contain only local visual input features. The visual system must group separate local elements into meaningful global features to infer the visual objects in the scene. Local features can group into regions, as in texture segmen-tation; or into contours which may represent boundaries of underlying objects. I propose that the primary visual cortex (V1) ...
