    Spatio-temporal interactions and the spatial phase preferences of visual neurons

    We recorded single neuron responses in the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and visual cortex to compound stimuli composed of two sinusoidal gratings in a 2∶1 frequency ratio. To probe visual receptive f...

    Abolition of visual cortical direction selectivity affects visual behavior in cats

    We reared cats in an environment illuminated stroboscopically at 8 Hz, and studied their ability to detect and discriminate the direction of motion of sinusoidal gratings. Normal cats, like humans, could discr...

    The dependence of response amplitude and variance of cat visual cortical neurones on stimulus contrast

    For neurones in the cat's striate cortex, we examined the dependence of response on the contrast of moving sinusoidal gratings. Most neurones showed a clear threshold contrast below which no response was elici...

    Modification of the kitten's visual cortex by exposure to spatially periodic patterns

    Kittens were dark-reared except for exposure to three types of spatially periodic, vertically striped pattern:
