A V1 neuron only processes a tiny region of a visual scene, its receptive field. It might see, for example, only a tiny part of the bark on an Aspen tree. "Information through this small window is ...

There are ten distinguishable VS cells in each hemisphere of the blowfly. Each of them has a region of visual space upon which it reports, its receptive field.

"Many neurons are thought to respond to a receptive field, so that if I look at one motor neuron as I move my hand to the left, I'll see it fire more often, but if I move my hand to the right, the ...

Whenever the stimuli entered the neuron’s receptive field, the cell produced a volley of electrical spikes, known as “action potentials”, indicated by vertical tick marks in the demonstration.

Some neurons are more active than others, even when they are positioned right next to each other and are one and the same neuron type. Dr. Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau and Dr. James Poulet of the ...

This research highlights the intrinsically nonlinear nature of receptive fields in vision and suggests a paradigm shift for both vision science and for artificial intelligence. DOI 10.1038/s41598 ...
