## Abstract The receptive fields of the sensorimotor cortex neurons identified by electrocutaneous stimulation were modified by microelectrophoretically applied picrotoxin which is known to reduce inhibition. A relatively short application of picrotoxin (90 nA during 3β6 min) markedly increased the
Excitatory receptive field (ERF) response profiles and length summation functions were derived from complex neurones in cat striate cortex. Measured length summation was compared with summation predicted from integration over ERF profiles. In a minority of neurones, measured and predicted summation
In cats, 131 area 18 units with receptive fields 10-50 degrees from the visual axis, were recorded and tested with moving stimuli. These stimuli included light slits, dark bars, single edges, gratings and a random square pattern. 94% of the units were responsive to visual motion. 106 neurones could
