Current views on multisensory motion integration assume separate substrates where visual
motion perceptually dominates tactile motion [1, 2]. However, recent neuroimaging findings …

In mammals, a larger number of neurons in V1 are devoted to cardinal (horizontal and
vertical) orientations than to oblique orientations. However, electrophysiological results from …

It remains controversial whether and how spatial frequency (SF) is represented tangentially
in cat visual cortex. Several models were proposed, but there is no consensus. Worse still …

Motion direction and luminance contrast are two central features in the representation of
visual motion in humans. In five psychophysical experiments, we showed that these two …

In an early stage of the postnatal development of cats, orientation maps mature and spatial
frequency selectivity is consolidated. To investigate the time course of orientation map …

In the visual system, neurons with similar functional properties such as orientation and
direction selectivity are clustered together to form modules. Optical imaging recordings in …

A general intravenous anesthetic propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) is widely used in clinical,
veterinary practice and animal experiments. It activates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAa) …

Luminescence-based imaging technology is developing as a powerful tool for investigating
the real-time behaviour of biologically important substances in live cells and animals. The …

Neuronal activation triggers local changes in blood flow and hemoglobin oxygenation.
These hemodynamic signals can be recorded through functional magnetic resonance …

Purpose: To physiologically examine the impairment of cortical sensitivity to visual motion
during acute elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods: Motion processing in the cat …
