The mouse is emerging as an important model for understanding how sensory neocortex
extracts cues to guide behavior, yet little is known about how these cues are processed …

Neurons in the visual cortex of all examined mammals exhibit orientation or direction tuning.
New imaging techniques are allowing the circuit mechanisms underlying orientation and …

Abstract Development of the selective response properties that define columns in sensory
cortex is thought to begin early in cortical maturation, without the need for experience. We …

Multimodal sensory integration facilitates the generation of a unified and coherent
perception of the environment. It is now well established that unimodal sensory perceptions …

The brain processes information and generates cognitive and motor outputs through
functions of spatially organized proteins in different types of neurons. More complete …

In the years following Hubel and Wiesel's first reports on ocular dominance plasticity and
amblyopia, much attention has been focused on understanding the role of cortical circuits in …

While early experience with moving stimuli is necessary for the development of direction
selectivity in visual cortex of carnivores, it is unclear whether experience exerts a permissive …

It has been shown recently that neurons in V2 respond selectively to the edges of figures
defined only by disparity (cyclopean edges). These responses are orientation selective …

Rapid visual flicker is known to capture attention. Here we show slow flicker can also
capture attention under reciprocal temporal conditions. Observers searched for a target line …

Object orientations in the visual field are columned into specific orientation domains in the
primary visual cortex [area 17 (A17) and area 18 (A18)] of cats. At the single‐cell level …
