Receptive Fields in Primate Retina Are Coordinated to Sample Visual Space More Uniformly. PLoS Biology , 2009; 7 (4): e63 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.1000063 Cite This Page : ...

Receptive fields have been identified for the visual system, auditory system and somatosensory system, so far. For more information, see the following related content on ScienceDaily: Related Stories ...

To find out, the researchers created a model of the visual cortex that had different levels of neurons with receptive fields of increasing size. They then simulated an evoked memory by sending a ...

How that visual “clutter” affects visual processing in the brain, however, is not well understood. In a new study published Oct. 22 in the journal Neuron , Yale researchers show that this clutter ...

Unfortunately, no one has yet suggested a sensible way to determine the receptive field of each individual neuron in a specific blind patient. Without that information, there is no way to see the ...
