Functional maps arise in developing visual cortex as response selectivities become
organized into columnar patterns of population activity. Recent studies of developing …

The development of the nervous system is an extremely complex and dynamic process.
Through the continuous interplay of genetic information and changing intra-and extracellular …

Recently acquired fMRI data from human and macaque infants provide novel insights into
the origins of cortical networks specialized for perceiving faces. Data from both species …

Vision develops rapidly during infancy, yet how visual cortex is organized during this period
is unclear. In particular, it is unknown whether functional maps that organize the mature …

Development of orientation maps in ferret and cat primary visual cortex (V1) has been
shown to be stable, in that the earliest measurable maps are similar in form to the eventual …

Theoretical/computational models have played an important role in developing our
understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in neural map formation. I review …

The organization of primary visual cortex has been heavily studied for nearly 50 years, and
in the last 20 years functional imaging has provided high-resolution maps of its tangential …

Researchers have used a very wide range of different experimental and theoretical
approaches to help understand mammalian visual systems. These approaches tend to have …

Visual working memory (VWM) capacity has been studied extensively in adults, and
methodological advances have enabled researchers to probe capacity limits in infancy …

Maps representing the preference of neurons for the location and orientation of a stimulus
on the visual field are a hallmark of primary visual cortex. It is not yet known how these maps …
