We tested the hypothesis that geniculate X cells are the neural substrate of psychophysically identified pattern channels and that geniculate Y cells are the neural substrate of psychophysically identified flicker channels. The hypothesis was tested by measuring the relative sensitivity of isolated
## Abstract We previously established (Datskovskaia et al. [2001] J Comp Neurol 430:85β100) that roughly 40% of Y retinal terminals contact interneurons in the A lamina of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the cat. However, we did not establish whether the dendritic terminals of inter
The spike trains of X and Y retinal ganglion cell axons and neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of cats were compared to determine if the visual signal could be better discriminated from the maintained activity in the LGN relative to the retina. Curves for relative or receiver operating
We examined the influence of acetylcholine (ACh) on the visual response properties of lagged cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of anaesthetised cats. By means of electrophysiological techniques, the response of single cells was recorded before, during and after ionophoretic application
