Horizontal connections that connect cortical columns are likely to play a critical role in these processes by providing a context for sensory stimuli in space.
Intrinsic horizontal connections that connect surrounding neurons convey information from beyond the classical receptive field and can provide contextual information of the target stimulus.
There was also evidence of horizontal connections between neurons in the superficial part of layer V (Va), connecting with both layer III and superficial layer V cells.
Connectivity properties and receptive field relationships differed for vertical and horizontal connections.
Most basically, the anatomical connectivity scheme within columns is fundamentally different from that for horizontal connections [8], [14].
They found horizontal connections between cells responding to similar orientations.
Calretinin interneurons are known to form horizontal connections between cortical neurons and cortical fields51.
He could think microscopically and macroscopically, make amazing horizontal connections and see in a wide vertical range.
The development of long-range horizontal connections depends on visual experience.
Horizontal connections have delayed CRF-surround modulandon are are sensitive to position changes in the surround.
However, there are horizontal connections and also strong feedback from extra striate to visual cortex.
