Development of spatiotemporal receptive fields of simple cells: I. Model formulation

Biological cybernetics
S WimbauerJ L van Hemmen

Abstract

A model for the development of spatiotemporal receptive fields of simple cells in the visual cortex is proposed. The model is based on the 1990 hypothesis of Saul and Humphrey that the convergence of four types of input onto a cortical cell, viz. non-lagged ON and OFF inputs and lagged ON and OFF inputs, underlies the spatial and temporal structure of the receptive fields. It therefore explains both orientation and direction selectivity of simple cells. The response properties of the four types of input are described by the product of linear spatial and temporal response functions. Extending the 1994 model of one of the authors (K.D. Miller), we describe the development of spatiotemporal receptive fields as a Hebbian learning process taking into account not only spatial but also temporal correlations between the different inputs. We derive the correlation functions that drive the development both for the period before and after eye-opening and demonstrate how the joint development of orientation and direction selectivity can be understood in the framework of correlation-based learning. Our investigation is split into two parts that are presented in two papers. In the first, the model for the response properties and for the deve...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
