1. Modulação centro-contorno em campos receptivos do wulst visual
Neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) typically show response suppression when stimulated by oriented stimuli larger than their classical receptive fields (CRF). Here, we investigate the prevalence, strength and feature selectivity of center-surround modulation in the owl visual wulst, an area that presents close hodological and physiological similaritie

2. SegmentaÃÃo e classificaÃÃo de padrÃes visuais baseadas em campos receptivos e inibitÃrios
The human visual system is one of the most fascinating mechanisms from nature. It is through the visual system that humans are able to accomplish their most basic tasks, like watching TV, until the most complexes ones, like making microscopic analysis in laboratories. Then, two models based on the behavior of the human visual system are proposed in this work

3. Cutaneous excitatory and inhibitory input to neurones of the postsynaptic dorsal column system in the cat.
1. In chloralose-anaesthetized cats single-unit microelectrode recordings were made from axons in the dorsal columns, at the lumbar level, identified as belonging to the postsynaptic dorsal column (PSDC) system. 2. Excitatory and inhibitory receptive field arrangements of a sample of seventy-five PSDC neurones were examined in detail using natural cutaneous

4. On the distinctness of simple and complex cells in the visual cortex of the cat.
The behaviour of neurones in cat striate cortex was examined in response to moving sinusoidal gratings and flashed bright and dark lines. The responses were summarized by three indices: discreteness was a measure of the degree of separation of inhibitory and excitatory regions in the receptive field; spatial summation ratio showed the degree of spatial summa

5. Receptive fields and in-field afferent inhibition of neurones in the cat's lateral cervical nucleus.
1. Extracellular microelectrode recordings were made from projection neurones of the lateral cervical nucleus (LCN) in cats anaesthetized with chloralose and paralysed with gallamine triethiodide. 2. The receptive fields of eight-five units were analysed. Most units had excitatory receptive fields similar in size and shape to those of spinocervical tract (SC

6. Receptive field organization and response properties of spinal neurones with axons ascending the dorsal columns in the cat.
Micro-electrode recordings were made from single post-synaptic axons in the dorsal columns of cats anaesthetized with chloralose and paralysed with gallamine triethiodide. The recordings were made from the L5 segment and the axons were shown to project to the upper cervical level. Forty-eight units were recorded and the axons had conduction velocities of 22-

7. The relationship of receptive field properties to the dendritic shape of neurones in the cat striate cortex.
In this study, we examined the hypothesis that some features of the receptive fields of cortical neurones are determined by the extent to which their dendrites can sample from different parts of the visual field representation on the cortex. In particular, the orientation selectivity and size of the receptive fields of cortical neurones were examined for the

8. Formation of receptive fields in realistic visual environments according to the Bienenstock, Cooper, and Munro (BCM) theory.
The Bienenstock, Cooper, and Munro (BCM) theory of synaptic plasticity has successfully reproduced the development of orientation selectivity and ocular dominance in kitten visual cortex in normal, as well as deprived, visual environments. To better compare the consequences of this theory with experiment, previous abstractions of the visual environment are r

9. Receptive fields of frog retinal ganglion cells: response formation and light-dark-adaptation.
1. The excitatory and inhibitory receptive field mechanisms of retinal ganglion cells were studied by extracellular recording from the eyecup of Rana temporaria in order to elucidate the nature of adaptational changes in the functioning of the receptive field. 2. The responses to large stimuli were always strongly depressed relative to responses evoked by sm

10. Functional synergism between putative gamma-aminobutyrate-containing neurons and pyramidal neurons in prefrontal cortex.
The responses of putative gamma-aminobutyratergic interneurons (fast-spiking) and pyramidal (regular-spiking) cell pairs were compared in monkeys performing visual and memory-guided oculomotor tasks. Both fast- and regular-spiking neurons had similar receptive fields, indicating that gamma-aminobutyratergic interneurons carry a specific informational signal,

11. Cutaneous inhibitory receptive fields of withdrawal reflexes in the decerebrate spinal rat.
1. The inhibitory cutaneous input to the withdrawal reflex pathways to single hindlimb muscles was investigated in decerebrate spinal rats (n = 53) using electromyography. 2. Withdrawal reflexes in the peronei, extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior muscles of the leg were strongly inhibited by conditioning mechanical, thermal (CO2 laser) and intrac

12. Spatial spread of in-field afferent inhibition in the cat's spinocervical tract.
1. Extracellular microelectrode recordings were made from twenty-three spinocervical tract (SCT) cells in the lumbar spinal cord of cats anaesthetized with chloralose and paralysed with gallamine triethiodide. Excitation and inhibition of the cells were elicited by applying small brief (4 mN, 60 ms) localized jets of air to the clipped hair in and around the
