Journal ArticleDOI
Population receptive fields of ON and OFF thalamic inputs to an orientation column in visual cortex
TL;DR: The primary visual cortex of primates and carnivores is organized into columns of neurons with similar preferences for stimulus orientation, but the developmental origin and function of this organization are still matters of debate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles underlying sensory map topography in primary visual cortex
TL;DR: All main features of visual cortical topography, including orientation, direction and retinal disparity, follow a common organizing principle that arranges thalamic axons with similar retinotopy and ON–OFF polarity in neighbouring cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal nonlinearity explains greater visual spatial resolution for darks than lights
Jens Kremkow,Jianzhong Jin,Stanley J. Komban,Yushi Wang,Reza Lashgari,Xiaobing Li,Michael Jansen,Qasim Zaidi,Jose-Manuel Alonso +8 more
TL;DR: A fundamental difference in visual processing between ON and OFF channels is demonstrated and reveal a competitive advantage for OFF neurons over ON neurons at low spatial frequencies, which could be important during cortical development when retinal images are blurred by immature optics in infant eyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal and Perceptual Differences in the Temporal Processing of Darks and Lights
Stanley J. Komban,Jens Kremkow,Jianzhong Jin,Yushi Wang,Reza Lashgari,Xiaobing Li,Qasim Zaidi,Jose-Manuel Alonso +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the cortical OFF pathway is faster than the ON pathway at increasing and suppressing visual responses, and these differences have parallels in the human visual perception of lights and darks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faster Thalamocortical Processing for Dark than Light Visual Targets
TL;DR: The results indicate that darks are processed faster than lights in the thalamocortical pathway, given the stimulus preferences from OFF and ON channels.
