Dependence of functional organization of receptive fields of the cat lateral geniculate body on visual stimulus contrast
Authors:Yu P Danilov  V D Glezer
Abstract:The spatial organization of receptive fields of the lateral geniculate body in response to visual stimuli with different degrees of contrast was studied in cats. During variation of contrast changes in organization of the central zone were found to take place in some receptive fields. Inside the central zone of the receptive field as revealed by the use of low stimulus contrasts, an additional inhibitory ring appears in response to a stimulus of high contrast. The weighting function of the central zone of the receptive field becomes variable in sign. The role of this phenomenon in transmission of information on high spatial frequencies (increase in visus) at high contrasts is discussed.I. P.
