We investigated quantitatively the receptive-field properties of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus of Siamese cats. The experimental animals, "Mid-western" Siamese cats, exhibited varied degrees of ocular misalignment. The percentage of Y-cells, which receive projections from the area centra
A contrast reversal (alternating phase) stimulus was used to study the responses of 150 retinal ganglion cells from 15 adult cats. Because the majority of the cells did not show perfect linear spatial summation, a ratio of the firing rates at two time periods was used to express the degree of nonlin
