The dynamics of structural and functional characteristics of residual neurons in the degenerating lateral geniculate body was studied in cats during the 4–12 months after division of all cortico-subcortical projection connections, including axons of relay cells of the lateral geniculate body [9]. Spontaneous and evoked activity of the residual cells, their number, and also the dimensions of the cell bodies were investigated. With lengthening of the postoperative period a decrease in the number of cells of the lateral geniculate body responding to photic stimulation and also destruction of their receptive fields were observed; 12 months after the operation the residual neurons of the lateral geniculate body lose their sensitivity to photic stimulation. Morphological investigation revealed a progressive reduction in the number of neurons in the degenerating lateral geniculate body and predominance of small neurons among them. The nature of interneuronal relations in the lateral geniculate body are discussed on the basis of the results.Research Institute of Experimental Medicine, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.

The spatial organization of receptive fields (RF) of neurons was studied in the lateral geniculate body (LGB) of cats with pretrigeminal transection of the brainstem (without general anesthesia). Using systematic point testing of the entire RF area and adjacent regions, the RF configuration and distribution of the response types for a stable flickering stimulus throughout the RF area were determined. Only 40% (64 units of 160 studied) LGB neurons had simple RF configuration. Such RF of ellipsoid or round shape were called regular receptive fields, RRF. Most RRF (51, or about 80%) demonstrated spatially homogeneous organization with similar-type (on, off, oron-off) responses to stimulation of the entire RF area. The RRF of 13 neurons, i.e., about 20%, included subfields with qualitatively different responses to application of a stable flickering light spot. The position of subfields was asymmetrical in 8 neurons (13%), while a nearly concentric RF arrangement, with the center surrounded by an antagonistic area, was found only in 5 units (7%) with RRF. Nearly all neurons with heterogeneous RRF demonstrated directional selectivity to moving stimuli.Neirofiziologiya/Neurophysiology, Vol. 27, No. 5/6, pp. 413–424, September–December, 1995. 相似文献

Spike responses of single neurons in the primary visual cortex and lateral geniculate body to random presentation of local photic stimuli in different parts of the receptive field of the cell were studied in acute experiments on curarized cats. Series of maps of receptive fields with time interval of 20 msec obtained by computer enabled the dynamics of the excitatory and inhibitory zones of the field to be assessed during development of on- and off-responses to flashes. Receptive fields of all cortical and lateral geniculate body neurons tested were found to undergo regular dynamic reorganization both after the beginning and after the end of action of the photic stimulus. During the latent period of the response no receptive field was found in the part of the visual field tested, but later a small zone of weak responses appeared only in the center of the field. Gradually (most commonly toward 60–100 msec after application of the stimulus) the zone of the responses widened to its limit, after which the recorded field began to shrink, ending with complete disappearance or disintegration into separate fragments. If two bursts of spikes were generated in response to stimulation, during the second burst the receptive field of the neuron changed in the same way. The effects described were clearly exhibited if the level of background illumination, the intensity of the test bars, their contrast with the background, duration, angles subtended, and orientation were varied, although the rate and degree of reorganization of the receptive field in this case changed significantly. The functional importance of the effect for coding of information about the features of a signal by visual cortical neurons is discussed.Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

Spontaneous and evoked single unit activity of lateral geniculate body neurons was recorded extracellularly in acute experiments on cats. Eight groups of neurons differing in the durations of the minimal and mean interspike intervals of spontaneous unit activity, and in the latent period and duration of the first volley of spikes of evoked activity, were distinguished by analysis of the data. On the basis of this classification a scheme for interaction between neurons of the lateral geniculate body is suggested.Institute of General Pathology and Pathological Physiology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

Acute experiments on anesthetized cats showed that blocking the projection connections of the cortex unilaterally increased the number of lateral geniculate neurons which generated long-latency phasic responses and the number of spikes in the responses of single neurons. Unit responses were monophasic more frequently in the lateral geniculate body on the side of the operation than in the same structure on the opposite side. On the basis of these results a hypothesis is developed to explain the mechanisms of monomodal descending cortical effects in microsystems of neurons of the lateral geniculate body.Institute of Experimental Medicine, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.

Changes in activity of 51 neurons in the rabbit lateral geniculate nucleus evoked by the replacement of eight color and eight achromatic stimuli in pairs were analyzed. It was found that neurons displayed the earliest phasic (within 50-90 ms after the replacement) and tonic response components. The earliest component strongly correlated with differences between stimuli, whereas the tonic component depended on stimuli intensity. Analysis of phasic component revealed two neuronal populations: the first group of cells was specialized for stimuli differentiation only by their intensities, and, and the second group could measure differences in colors and intensities. Neuronal perceptual spaces were reconstructed using the average of the earliest response component as a measure of differences between stimuli. Spaces of 44 neurons (86%) were two-dimensional with brightness and darkness axes. Such neurons had the same structures of space for color and achromatic stimuli. Spaces of 7 neurons (14%) were four-dimensional with two chromatic and two achromatic axes. The structures of perceptual space reconstructed from neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus were identical to the spaces calculated from the neurons in the primary visual cortex. The structure of the perceptual space reconstructed from neuronal spikes was also similar to space calculated from the N85 visual evoked potential component recorded under similar conditions and to another space reconstructed on the basis of rabbit's instrumental learning. This fact confirmed the general principle of vector coding in the visual system. The tonic component of the most of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus showed a linear correlation with changes in intensities, thereby these neurons could be characterized as pre-detectors for cortical selective detectors. 相似文献

Single unit responses in the dorsal lateral geniculate body to stimulation of the optic chiasma (testing) and area 17 (conditioning) of the visual cortex were studied in unanesthetized cats immobilized with tubocurarine. Two types of unit responses were found: P-responses (considered to be of relay, or principal, cells) and I-responses (considered to be of interneurons), whose parameters differed distinctly. Interaction between stimulation of the visual cortex and optic chiasma consisted of depression of the ability of the P cells of the nucleus to respond to testing stimulation. It is suggested that cortical influences on stimulus conduction by P cells of the nucleus is based on postsynaptic inhibition with the participation of interneurons.A. A.

Background and evoked activity of LGB units was studied on immobilized and anaesthetized rabbits. Two groups of projection units were revealed, differing by the level of background activity, latencies and mean frequency of discharges in responses to single photic flashes and to electrical stimulation of the optic nerve. It is assumed that these groups of units belong to the slowly and rapidly conducting paths of sensory information transmission in the visual projection system. 相似文献
