Model neurons exhibit receptive fields much like their natural counterparts, demonstrating that the connectivity between the lobula plate tangential cells indeed can account for their complex receptive field structure.
They conclude from their 1998 study, as well as electrophysiological studies in V4 [47], [47], that V4 neurons coded more strongly for stimuli in their receptive field that matched the top-down goal rather than the absolute color of the stimuli.
The chemical meaning of molecular descriptors helps understand structure-response relationships for olfactory receptors and their "receptive fields".
This experimental design is appropriate for AIT neurons, as their receptive fields have maximal responses close to fixation [42], in contrast to parietal neurons, for example, which frequently have foveal-sparing responses [50].
LGN neurons, for instance, essentially inherit their receptive field characteristics from a minority of retinal afferents, whilst displaying a variety of subtler influences of cortical origin; these derive from layer 6 of V1, and modulate the level and synchrony of activity amongst LGN neurons.
Two other participants (P3, P5) focused on developing their receptive skills for the second test, explicitly stating that they had taken advice from other students who had said that concentrating on reading skills would allow them to get a high score overall.
Neurons from visual cortices discharge specifically for luminance variations occurring within their receptive field.
The responses of TE neurons provide surprisingly detailed information about the position of stimuli, and their receptive fields for their preferred stimulus have an average diameter of 10 visual degrees (taking as border the position where responses have fallen off 50% compared to the preferred position).
Previous studies demonstrated an extensive connectivity between different tangential cells, providing, in principle, the structural basis for their large and complex receptive fields.
The styles of the female flowers are unusual in being receptive (stigmatic) for their entire length, sometimes even extending down onto the ovary itself.
