Responses to texture motion (visual noise) were investigated in the superior colliculus of paralysed cats, lightly anaesthetized with N2O/O2 supplemented with pentobarbitone or Althesin. Within the superficial layers two classes of texture-sensitive neurones were found: Type I units with weak respon

Multiple visual field representations are contained within the feline LP-pulvinar complex; regions differentiated by their afferent and efferent connectivity patterns as the striate-, tecto- and retino-recipient zones. Cell responses from these visuotopic zones were investigated in immobilized cats
The response characteristic of visual cortical cells to moving oriented stimuli consists mainly of directional (D) and orientational (O) components superimposed to a spontaneous activity (S). Commonly used polar plot diagrams reflect the maximal responses for different orientations and directions of
