The cerebral cortex, with its conserved 6-layer structure, has inspired many unifying models
of function. However, recent comparative studies of primary visual cortex have revealed …

Marsupials are a diverse group of mammals that occupy a large range of habitats and have
evolved a wide array of unique adaptations. Although they are as diverse as placental …

A receptive field constitutes a region in the visual field where a visual cell or a visual
operator responds to visual stimuli. This paper presents a theory for what types of receptive …

Tree shrew primary visual cortex (V1) exhibits a pronounced laminar segregation of inputs
from different classes of relay neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). We examined …

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 …

Increasingly systematic approaches to quantifying receptive fields in primary visual cortex,
combined with inspired ideas about functional circuitry, non-linearities, and visual stimuli …

Australian marsupials represent a parallel adaptive radiation to that seen among placental
mammals. This great natural experiment has produced a striking array of mammals with …

There are notable differences in functional properties of primary visual cortex (V1) neurons
among mammalian species, particularly those concerning the occurrence of simple and …

The physiological responses of simple and complex cells in the primary visual cortex (V1)
have been studied extensively and modeled at different levels. At the functional level, the …

One of the best-known dichotomies in neuroscience is the division of neurons in the
mammalian primary visual cortex into simple and complex cells. Simple cells have receptive …
