A wide variety of papers have reviewed what is known about the function of primary visual
cortex. In this review, rather than stating what is known, we attempt to estimate how much is …

Ever since Hubel and Wiesel described orientation selectivity in the visual cortex, the
question of how precise selectivity emerges has been marked by considerable debate …

There is a popular belief in neuroscience that we are primarily data limited, and that
producing large, multimodal, and complex datasets will, with the help of advanced data …

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 …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

The thalamus is crucial in determining the sensory information conveyed to cortex. In the
visual system, the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is generally thought to encode …

Simple cells in the primary visual cortex often appear to compute a weighted sum of the light
intensity distribution of the visual stimuli that fall on their receptive fields. A linear model of …

Information is integrated across the visual field to transform local features into a global
percept. We now know that V1 neurons provide more spatial integration than originally …

We studied the steady-state orientation selectivity of single neurons in macaque primary
visual cortex (V1). To analyze the data, two measures of orientation tuning selectivity …

In what regime does the cortical circuit operate? Our intracellular studies of surround
suppression in cat primary visual cortex (V1) provide strong evidence on this question …
