The adaptation and habituation characteristics produced by the repeated presentation of a moving visual stimulus were studied in single cells in the pigeon's optic tectum. Units located near the surface in the stratum opticum showed little adaptation. However, cells located in deeper layers exhibite

Activity from single neurons in the visual cortex of anaesthetized and paralyzed cats were recorded in response to monocular and binocular stimuli of different retinal disparities. Three different types of disparity sensitive neurons were found, characterized by (1) a response maximum near zero disp
Sensory information is encoded throughout the central nervous system by activation of specific groups of neurons. Neurons encoding information from a particular modality are grouped together and constitute an ordered neural representation or ''map'' of the stimulus. The organization of these represe
