Horizontal connections in the primary visual cortex of carnivores, ungulates and primates
organize on a near-regular lattice. Given the similar length scale for the regularity found in …

The functional properties of neocortical pyramidal cells (PCs), such as direction and
orientation selectivity in visual cortex, predominantly derive from their excitatory and …

Key points The present study showed that anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) can respectively increase and decrease the amplitude of visually evoked …

Pyramidal neurons integrate synaptic inputs from basal and apical dendrites to generate
stimulus-specific responses. It has been proposed that feed-forward inputs to basal …

Neurons in the primary visual cortex receive subliminal information originating from the
periphery of their receptive fields (RF) through a variety of cortical connections. In the cat …

Network features found in the brain may help implement more efficient and robust neural
networks. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) process spikes in the spatiotemporal domain and …

Recent work about the role of visual callosal connections in ferrets and cats is reviewed, and
morphological and functional homologies between the lateral intrinsic and callosal network …

Surround suppression (SS) is a phenomenon whereby a neuron's response to stimuli in its
central receptive field (cRF) is suppressed by stimuli extending to its surround receptive field …

To explore the relative contributions of higher-order and primary visual cortex (V1) to visual
perception, we compared cats' behavioral and V1 neuronal contrast sensitivity functions …

One of the most striking features of neocortical anatomy is the presence of extensive top-
down projections into primary sensory areas. Notably, many of these top-down projections …
