The receptive field centre of cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus were mapped as iso-sensitivity contours. 94% of the cells were found to have elliptical centres, and analysis of the major axis orientation showed that 29% and 59% of units had their major axis oriented within +/- 20 degree

Principal cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus receive both feedforward and recurrent inhibition. Despite many years of study, the receptive field structure of these inhibitory mechanisms has not been determined. Here, we have used intracellular recordings in vivo to differentiate between
The responses of rabbit dorsal lateral geniculate neurons to light or optic nerve shock were tested for 415 units in 43 rabbit pups 2--20 days of age. Units were driven by optic nerve shock at the youngest ages tested, but could not be driven by light until postnatal day six. Examples of each of the
