Interlaminar Interactions in the Cat Visual Cortex (Laminae, Columns)
Abstract
dc:descriptionOne component of the vertical organization of visual cortex is the projection of cells in supragranular layers to cells in the infragranular layers. By recording from cells in the infragranular layers during synaptic inactivation of layers 1-3, I have examined the possibility that this projection may confer certain receptive field properties upon cells in the deep cortical layers. I have found that cells in layer 5 and 6 which remain active in the absence of supragranular layer activity retain their specificities for stimulus orientation, direction, and length.
