This useful study shows that stimuli of a certain size elicit theta oscillations in V1 neurons both in spikes and local field potentials, and monkeys performing a dot detection task on these stimuli ...

The cerebral cortex receives multiple afferents from the thalamus that segregate by stimulus modality forming cortical maps for each sense. In vision, the primary visual cortex maps the multiple ...

Interestingly, the researchers found no significant differences in this condition either: the presence of a cat's meow prior to the onset of the visual stimulus did not make it appear more cat-like.

Moreover, even when presented with a task under new, unlearned conditions (for example, when the stimulus learned is in a new location), the examinees who learned the memory flash method performed ...

For example, if presented with a sound followed by a visual milliseconds apart and perceived as asynchronous, one is much more likely to report the next audio-visual stimulus pair as synchronous ...

When compared with auditory stimulus, patients with glaucoma had slower response times to visual stimulus.

They found that not only did the neurons activated by the visual stimulus keep more active during subsequent sleep, sleep is vital to their ability to connect the fear memory to the sensory event.

V1 neurons normally show sensitivity to different features of a visual stimulus, such as color or direction of movement. The preprocessed data is transmitted to subsequent areas of the visual cortex.

Second, we describe a less studied, but no less interesting form of plasticity in the visual cortex known as stimulus-selective response potentiation (SRP). SRP results in increases in the response of ...
