The sparseness of neuronal responses in ferret primary visual cortex.
Various arguments suggest that neuronal coding of natural sensory stimuli should be sparse (i.e., individual neurons should respond rarely but should respond reliably). We examined sparseness of visual cortical neurons in anesthetized ferret to flashed natural scenes. Response behavior differed widely between neurons. The median firing rate of 4.1 impulses per second was slightly higher than pr...
متن کاملDevelopment of orientation preference maps in ferret primary visual cortex.
The development of orientation preference maps was studied in ferret primary visual cortex using chronic optical imaging of intrinsic signals. The emergence and maturation of the maps were examined over time in single animals. The earliest age at which cortical domains selectively responsive to particular stimulus orientations were observed varied considerably between individuals, from postnata...
متن کاملNeuronal responses during and after the presentation of static visual stimuli in macaque primary visual cortex.
Viewing static visual scenes for several seconds or longer can induce a wide variety of striking percepts, including negative afterimages, fading, and motion aftereffects. To characterize the neuronal bases of such phenomena and elucidate functional circuitry in the visual system, we recorded responses of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) of anesthetized macaques during and after the presen...
متن کاملThe dynamics of visual responses in the primary visual cortex.
There is a transformation in behavior in the visual system of cats and primates, from neurons in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) that are not tuned for orientation to orientation-tuned cells in primary visual cortex (V1). The visual stimuli that excite V1 can be well controlled, and the thalamic inputs to V1 from the LGN have been measured precisely. Much has been learned about basic princ...
متن کاملSparseness of the neuronal representation of stimuli in the primate temporal visual cortex.
1. To analyze the selectivity and the sparseness of firing to visual stimuli of single neurons in the primate temporal cortical visual area, neuronal responses were measured to a set of 68 visual stimuli in macaques performing a visual fixation task. The population of neurons analyzed had responses that occurred primarily to faces. The stimuli included 23 faces, and 45 nonface images of real-wo...
