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
## 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 3–6 min) markedly increased the
The receptive fields of "complex" neurons within area 18 of the cerebral cortex of the cat were determined by a computer-assisted method using a moving light bar substantially shorter than the long diameter of the receptive field as a visual stimulus. The visual cells repeatedly generated nerve impu
