In other mouse models, e.g. the limb deformity (ld) mutation or Danforth's short tail (Sd) mice [30], delayed invasion of the ureteric bud into the receptive mesenchyme results in mesenchymal apoptosis and kidney agenesis [6].
If a neuron is located at the center of a column (as in Fig. 5b), no elongation of its receptive field results, as a single, isotropic columnar receptive field is dominating it.
The layer ganglia, covering the retina, thus include different sizes and scale receptive neurons, resulting in a multiscale retinal encoding of the visual input that will be sent to the cortex.
Similarly to HLA-DM, these 'MHC-loading enhancers' (MLE) stabilize a peptide receptive state resulting in accelerated antigen-loading and ligand exchange.
Along these lines, crowding-induced changes in target appearance could arise from the pooling of responses within large receptive fields, resulting in target-flanker averaging to promote perceptual similarity between adjacent regions of the peripheral visual field [ 3, 44].
In contrast to "standard" radial basis function (RBF) neural networks, the proposed topology of the network offers a considerable level of flexibility as the resulting receptive fields are highly diversified and capable of adjusting themselves to the characteristics of the locally available experimental data.
After depolarization of the neurons, brushing in the original receptive field zone resulted in action potential firing.
The resulting receptive field (Fig. 5E) only shows downward sensitivity at about −160 deg azimuth and upward sensitivity at −10 deg azimuth.
As a consequence of this property, if cortical cells were to pool in space a small number of nearby receptive fields, the result would be the sum ON and OFF Gaussian receptive fields slightly displaced in space (ignoring the surrounds).
For example, although gain fields for eye position can perform a coordinate transform from retinocentric to head-centered coordinates, the resulting receptive fields of individual neurons are not tied to particular locations in head-centered coordinates but remain retinocentric (although modulated by gaze angle).
