In order to obtain insights into the mechanisms by which the cells in primary visual cortex
generate their receptive field properties, we have investigated the intrinsic cortical circuitry …

Neurons in the visual cortex typically respond selectively to the orientation, and velocity and
direction of movement, of moving-bar stimuli. These responses are generally thought to …

Layer 6 corticothalamic neurons are thought to modulate incoming sensory information via
their intracortical axons targeting the major thalamorecipient layer of the neocortex, layer 4 …

Cortical neurons using the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are
known to contribute to the formation of neuronal receptive field properties in the primary …

To understand the mechanisms by which the receptive field properties of visual cortical cells
are generated, one must consider both the thalamic input to the cortex and the intrinsic …

Most neurons in cat striate visual cortex show inhibitory effects when moving contours are
presented beyond the limits of classic receptive field regions. Facilitatory effects are also …

This book is a colorful journey into the fascinatingly diverse world of interneurons, an
important class of highly heterogeneous cells found in all cortical neuronal networks …

The cortical circuitry of the visual cortex has been worked out in great detail. Anatomical
investigations reveal stereotyped connections within cortical columns and specific long …

The structural features of two physiologically‐characterised pyramidal neurons (PC1 and
PC2) closely situated in layer 5b in the visual cortex (area 17) of a single cat were studied …

Abstract In 1981, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel received the Nobel Prize for their
research on cortical columns—vertical bands of neurons with similar functional properties …
