This is a review of the research during the past 25years on cortical processing of color
signals. At the beginning of the period the modular view of cortical processing …

Abstract System identification is a growing approach to sensory neurophysiology that
facilitates the development of quantitative functional models of sensory processing. This …

Understanding how brains process sensory signals in natural environments is one of the key
goals of twenty-first century neuroscience. While brain imaging and invasive …

Genetic methods available in mice are likely to be powerful tools in dissecting cortical
circuits. However, the visual cortex, in which sensory coding has been most thoroughly …

A white noise technique is presented for estimating the response properties of spiking visual
system neurons. The technique is simple, robust, efficient and well suited to simultaneous …

Regulated apoptosis is essential for both the development and the subsequent maintenance
of the immune system,. Interleukins, including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7 and IL-15, heavily influence …

Neurons in area MT (V5) are selective for the direction of visual motion. In addition, many
are selective for the motion of complex patterns independent of the orientation of their …

The stimulus–response function of many visual and auditory neurons has been described by
a spatial-temporal receptive field (STRF), a linear model that for mathematical reasons has …

Response properties of sensory neurons are commonly described using receptive fields.
This description may be formalized in a model that operates with a small set of linear filters …

I present measurements of the spatial structure of simple-cell receptive fields in macaque
primary visual cortex (area V1). Similar to previous findings in cat area 17, the spatial profile …
