Weliky, M., Bosking, W. H. & Fitzpatrick, D. A systematic map of direction preference in primary visual cortex.
If these two features of the inputs are correlated during the training of the model, a somatotopically aligned map of direction emerges for each whisker in S1.
Turning streets, roundabouts, urban stairways, but also simple multidirectional walking in wider city neighborhoods involve repeated updating of mental maps of directions that can enforce the interest toward the present study approach.
Langer created a map of the directions in which wounds created on the skin of human cadavers using a round tipped awl would be stretched, and these are called Langer's lines [ 1].
Bring up a map of the directions or location that you want to render as a sketched map.
Given the robust emergence of pinwheel maps in the model, it is intriguing that although a recent two-photon calcium imaging study from Kerr et al. [10] measured similar levels of directional tuning to ref. [8], they found no evidence for a systematic map of deflection direction in L2/3.
Moreover, different neuronal subsets within the wind-sensitive population respond to different directions of arista deflection caused by air flow and project to different regions of the antennal and mechanosensory motor centre, providing a rudimentary map of wind direction in the brain.
First, supra-barrels for all of the large whiskers will contain a somatotopically aligned pinwheel map of PW direction, although pinwheel centers may be shifted for more peripheral whiskers.
Edges map to direction of blood flow, from the portal vein to the central vein.
In line with our hypothesis that a correlation between whisker direction and the overall pattern of activated whiskers could align maps
