NEUR3112 Study Guide - Final Guide: Anthocyanin, Connectionism, Limbic System
Document Summary
Generally centre surround monocular -> respond to light on 1 eye. Those response from 1 eye may dominate -> depends on the cells location in the ocular dominance stripe. Binocular cells "look" at the same point in visual space and are critical for 3d vision. Use a microelectrode to record spikes" from a single neurons in v1 of an anaesthetised animal. Find border of rf of that particular neuron (area of screen where you get a response) Neurons with same orientation preference -> organised in columns. Orientation selective neurons found in all layers aside from 4c -> 4c is where then input comes in -> receptor field a copy of the lgm. Property thought to be important for analysis of object shape. Mapping likely developed via learning and experience -> very complex. Direction (of movement) selectivity -> another rf property. Uses light bar again -> sweep light bar perpendicular to that direction.
