摘    要:利用基于脑内源信号的光学成像和二维互相关分析的方法,对猫初级视皮层17区的视野拓扑离心度(即视网膜-皮层拓扑关系)进行了精确测量。当采用在同一屏幕内处于上下视野的、方位互相垂直的两个相邻光栅刺激时,皮层中一部分区域的绝大部分细胞因同时兴奋而导致方位功能图模糊不清。将这种方位功能图和用单一方位(水平或垂直)全屏光栅刺激所得到的功能图进行比较,通过计算每一像素的互相关系数,从而获得皮层的精确视野拓扑离心度。同时用电生理的方法测量了同一视皮层内的单细胞的感受野位置,证明这种方法得到的视野离心度和光学记录方法得到的相同。因此,本研究为大面积地确定视皮层细胞感受野在视野中的位置提供了一种快速和较准确的方法。

关 键 词:视野拓扑离心度  互相关系数  17区    光学记录

Abstract:The retinotopic topography of area 17 in cats was measured by optical imaging based on intrin-sic signals. When stimulated with two neighboring gratings oriented orthogonally each other, which were po-sitioned respectively in the upper and lower visual fields, one piece of cortex that had the retinal projectioncorresponding to the area around the border of the two stimulus gratings became blurred in the resultantfunction orientation map, because the neurons in this site received excitatory signals from both the horizontaland the vertical gratings via indirect ways. This functional map of the same cortex was compared with that e-licited only by a horizontal or vertical grating stimulation in the whole visual field. Accordingly , the accu-rate position of the retinotopic eccentricity of the cortex in visual field can be demarcated by calculating thecross correlation coefficient of the two functional maps. Furthermore, compared with the electrophysiologicalmeasure of receptive fields of single cortical neurons, the retinotopic eccentricities revealed by optical ima-ging were identical. This experiment provides a fast and relatively accurate method to calculate the retino-topic eccentricities in a large cortical area of the visual cortex.
Keywords:retinotopic eccentricity  cross correlation coefficient  area 17  cat  optical imaging
