TL;DR: Four physiologically identified neurons in the A laminae of the cat’s dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus were filled with horseradish peroxidase and studied using the electron microscope, and major fine structural differences observed between X- and Y-cells were almost entirely related to the retinal afferents.

TL;DR: Receptive-field properties of 214 neurons from cat striate cortex were studied to suggest that simple and complex cells analyze different aspects of a visual stimulus, and a hypothesis is provided which suggests that simple cells analyze input typically from one (or a few) geniculate neurons, while complex cells receive input from a larger region of geniculated neurons.

TL;DR: Receptive-field properties were studied for 156 cells in 15 mqnocularly deprived cats, and in agreement with previous studies, these data suggest that binocular perception is influenced by the deprived eye.

TL;DR: Not only is the final pattern of abnormalities quite different between these cell groups, but the developmental dynamics of these abnormalities also differ.

TL;DR: It is found that Y-cells in the MIN of younger kittens have long latencies to optic chiasm stimulation, large receptive fields without surrounds, low spatial and temporal resolutions, and nearly absent spontaneous activity, and gradually develop to adult values over several months of the postnatal period.
