Focal blockade of restricted regions in layer V of area 18 was used to assess the contribution of this region to the responses to high-velocity stimuli of cells in retinotopically matched, layer V in area 17. In 40% of cases, blockade within area 18 revealed responses of area 17 cells to high-veloci

Sharpness and symmetry of orientation tuning were quantitatively investigated and compared in ninety-seven cells from areas 17 and 18 of the lightly-anaesthetised feline visual cortex. Halfwidths of orientation tuning at half-height ranged between 5 degrees and 73 degrees for long stimuli, with an e
The activity of retinal ganglion cells and cortical cells with overlapping receptive fields was simultaneously recorded. The responses to moving stimuli of individual simple cortical cells could be accounted for on the basis of the cell receiving either on-centre or off-centre afferents; instances i
