Patterning and plasticity of the cerebral cortex
M Sur, JLR Rubenstein - Science, 2005 - science.org
The cerebral cortex of the human brain is a sheet of about 10 billion neurons divided into
discrete subdivisions or areas that process particular aspects of sensation, movement, and …

Development and plasticity of cortical processing architectures
W Singer - Science, 1995 - science.org
One of the basic functions of the cerebral cortex is the analysis and representation of
relations among the components of sensory and motor patterns. It is proposed that the cortex …

Universality in the evolution of orientation columns in the visual cortex
The brain's visual cortex processes information concerning form, pattern, and motion within
functional maps that reflect the layout of neuronal circuits. We analyzed functional maps of …

Neuronal plasticity that underlies improvement in perceptual performance
The electrophysiological properties of sensory neurons in the adult cortex are not immutable
but can change in response to alterations of sensory input caused by manipulation of …

Rapid adaptation in visual cortex to the structure of images
JR Muller, AB Metha, J Krauskopf, P Lennie - Science, 1999 - science.org
Complex cells in striate cortex of macaque showed a rapid pattern-specific adaptation.
Adaptation made cells more sensitive to orientation change near the adapting orientation. It …

Mechanisms of cerebral cortical patterning in mice and humans
All the higher mental and cognitive functions unique to humans depend on the neocortex
('new'cortex, referring to its relatively recent appearance in evolution), which is divided into …

Decorrelated neuronal firing in cortical microcircuits
Correlated trial-to-trial variability in the activity of cortical neurons is thought to reflect the
functional connectivity of the circuit. Many cortical areas are organized into functional …
