Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

Typical natural visual scenes contain many objects, which need to be segregated from each
other and from the background. Present theories subdivide the processes responsible for …

Three classes of perceptual phenomena have repeatedly been associated with autism

Contrast-dependent changes in spatial summation and contextual modulation of primary
visual cortex (V1) neuron responses to stimulation of their receptive field reveal long …

As connectomics advances, it will become commonplace to know far more about the
structure of a nervous system than about its function. The starting point for many …

Singer, 1994). The basis for this argument is that it is necessary to “tag” each visual neuron
to signify the object to which its activity relates. Each neuron therefore has to carry two …

Stimulation outside the receptive field of a primary visual cortical (V1) neuron reveals
intracortical neural interactions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. However, previous investigators implicitly or …
