Experience-dependent plasticity of visual cortical receptive fields (RFs) involves synaptic
modifications in the underlying neural circuits, but the site and mechanism of these …

Sensory areas of adult cerebral cortex can reorganize in response to long-term alterations in
patterns of afferent signals. This long-term plasticity is thought to play a crucial role in …

FAST associative cellular plasticity of visual cortical cells has been shown in vitro with
electrical stimulation as well as in vivo by pairing of natural stimuli with artificial …

Visual stimuli are known to induce various changes in the receptive field properties of adult
cortical neurons, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Repetitive pairing …

1. Receptive field (RF) sizes of neurons in adult primary visual cortex are dynamic,
expanding and contracting in response to alternate stimulation outside and within the RF …

Stimulus-selective response plasticity (SRP) is a robust and lasting modification of primary
visual cortex (V1) that occurs in response to exposure to novel visual stimuli. It is readily …

The receptive field (RF) of single visual neurons undergoes progressive refinement during
development. It remains largely unknown how the excitatory and inhibitory inputs on single …

Synaptic inputs underlying spike receptive fields are important for understanding
mechanisms of neuronal processing. Using whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings from …

An essential step in understanding visual processing is to characterize the neuronal
receptive fields (RFs) at each stage of the visual pathway. However, RF characterization …

1 A supervised learning procedure was applied to individual cat area 17 neurons to test the
possible role of neuronal co‐activity in controlling the plasticity of the spatial 'on …
