The mammalian visual cortex is composed of a constellation of cortical areas that are
interconnected by a dense network of corticocortical connections. Among those connections, it is …

To facilitate the characterization of cortical neuronal function, the responses of cells in cat
area 17 to intracellular injection of current pulses were quantitatively analyzed. A variety of …

The cellular mechanisms of spike-frequency adaptation during prolonged discharges and of
the slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that follows, as occur in vivo with contrast adaptation, …

Contrast adaptation is a psychophysical phenomenon, the neuronal bases of which reside
largely in the primary visual cortex. The cellular mechanisms of contrast adaptation were …

Cortical neurons in vivo respond to sensory stimuli with the generation of action potentials
that can show a high degree of variability in both their number and timing with repeated …

Neocortical neurons in awake, behaving animals can generate high-frequency (>300 Hz)
bursts of action potentials, either in single bursts or in a repetitive manner. Intracellular …

Recent functional studies question the validity of the hierarchical model of organization for
processing visual information in cortical areas. The results of these studies suggest that …

Implantable neural prosthetics devices offer a promising opportunity for the restoration of lost
functions in patients affected by brain or spinal cord injury, by providing the brain with a non…

Physiological and morphological properties of identified interneurons in the striate cortex of
the cat were studied in vivo by intracellular recording and staining with biocytin. In conformity …

Neurons in cat area 17 can be grouped in 4 different electrophysiological cell classes (regular
spiking, intrinsically bursting, chattering, and fast spiking [FS]). However, little is known of …
