[Structure of the simple receptive field of the cat visual cortex]. 1981

V D Glezer, and V E Gauzel'man, and V M Bondarko, and T A Shcherbach

Comparison of the cat simple receptive field (No. 17) responses to sinusoidal gratings and to thin light and dark bars showed that the excitatory and inhibitory on- and off-zones are composed by on- and off-subfields of corpus geniculatum, converging to the cortical neurons. Each zone comprises a pair of opponent subfields -- excitatory and inhibitory. Such an organization reveals the linear properties of the fields. However a real simple field is a nonlinear system because of available deviations from such an ideal organization. The deviations are manifested in mutual displacement of the subfields, inhomogeneity of the subfields and absence of an antagonistic subfield in the zone. Phasic and tonic subfields may be present simultaneously even within the same field.

D001931 Brain Mapping Imaging techniques used to colocalize sites of brain functions or physiological activity with brain structures. Brain Electrical Activity Mapping,Functional Cerebral Localization,Topographic Brain Mapping,Brain Mapping, Topographic,Functional Cerebral Localizations,Mapping, Brain,Mapping, Topographic Brain
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
