E-grāmata: Visually Responsive Neuron: From Basic Neurophysiology to Behavior

Part 1 Peripheral processing: the electrical responses of the trout
photoreceptors to brief and prolonged illumination; light sensitivity,
adaptation and saturation in mammalian rods; responses of isolated cat
retinal ganglion cells to injected currents during development; macaque
ganglion cells and spatal vision; the neurophysiological correlates of
ccolour induction, ccolour and brightness contrast. Part 2: sensory
integration in superior colliculus; determinants of axonal and dendritic
structure in the superior colliculus; functional architecture of rodent
superior colliculus - relevance of multiple output channgels; the visually
responsive neuron and beyond - multisensory integration in cat and monkey;
sensory integration in the deep layers of superior colliculus; early and late
flash-induced field responses correspond on On and OFF receptive field
components in hamster superior colliculus. Part 3 Functional and anatomical
organization of visual projections: functional organization of the
projections from the rabbit's superior colliculus to the lateral posterior
nucleus; multiple visual areas in the posterior parietal cortex of primates;
corticotectal relationships - direct and "indirect" corticotectal pathways;
abnormal visual experience and spatio-temporal properties of area; neurones
in the cat; visual behaviour following lesion of phasic W-fibres in the cat's
optic tract; visuotopic organization of corticocortical connections in the
visual system; disparity coding in the cat - a comparison between areas 17/18
and area
19. Part 4 Development and placticity: cortical convergence of On
and Off pathways and functional adaptation of receptive field organization in
cat area 17; temporal covariance of postsynaptic membrane potential and
synaptic input role in synaptic efficiency n visual cortex; potentiation of
the extrageniculo-striate pathway - a possible role in visual pattern
discrimination; long-term changes in visual mechanisms following differential
stimulation of colour and luminance channels during development; the
development of visual corticcal properties depends on visuo-proprioceptive
congruence; reorganization processes in the visual cortex also depend on
visual experience in the adult cat; extraretinal modulation of geniculate
neuronal activity by conditioning; the properties of the long-term
potentiation (LTP) in the superior colliculus; the nature of synaptic
plasticity in the visual cortex of kittens; an electrophysiological analysis
in vitro. Part contents.
