Spatial contrast adaptation, produced by prolonged exposure to high contrast grating
patterns, has become an important psychophysical method for isolating spatial and …

The responsivity of primary sensory cortical neurons is reduced following prolonged
adaptation, but such adaptation has been little studied in higher sensory areas. Adaptation …

We have asked how sensory adaptation is represented in the response of a population of
visual motion neurons and whether the neural adaptation could drive behavioral adaptation …

1. The modulatory influences of synchronously moving textured backgrounds on
responsiveness to optimally oriented moving bar stimuli were investigated in 107 simple …

The effects of microiontophoretic application of glutamate, GABA and the GABA antagonist,
bicuculline methiodide were tested on the degree of adaptation exhibited by striate cortical …

purpose. To measure psychophysically the thresholds for motion detection in the nasal and
temporal directions under monocular viewing conditions in monkeys reared under …

In sixty‐five complex cells recorded from striate cortex of lightly anaesthetized, paralysed
cats we investigated directional selectivity for motion of oriented and textured stimuli, both …

Previous studies investigating the response properties of neurons in the primary visual
cortex of cats and primates have shown that prolonged exposure to optimally oriented, high …

The question of whether a moving image is especially effective for stimulating visual
neurons was studied in the striate cortex of the cat. Receptive fields (RFs) of simple and …

The suppressive action of a moving textured background on responses to moving bars was
investigated in 118 striate neurons, 19 dorsal lateral geniculate neurons, and 5 …
