Differential imaging of ocular dominance and orientation selectivity in monkey striate cortex
GG Blasdel
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.
Differential images of ocular dominance, acquired by comparing responses to
the two eyes, reveal dark and light bands where cortical cells are
dominated by the right and left eyes. These include most (but not all)
histochemically stained cytochrome oxidase blobs in their centers.
Differential images of orientation, acquired by comparing responses to
orthogonal orientations, reveal dark and light bands that are reminiscent
of the "orientation columns" reported earlier, on the basis of
2-deoxyglucose (2DG) autoradiograms (Hubel et al., 1978). However, they are
shorter and more fragmented because they do not include regions lacking
selectivity for orientation. Even though these "bands" derive from
orientation-selective areas, comparisons with differential images of other
orientations reveal that regions along their centers prefer different
orientations. Hence, the orientation preferences inferred from "bands" in
single differential images, or single 2DG autoradiograms, are not
necessarily incorrect. Interactions between ocular dominance and
orientation were investigated by comparing differential images of
orientation obtained with binocular and monocular stimulation, as well as
by comparing differential images of ocular dominance obtained with
different orientations. In both cases, the elicited interactions were
minimal, indicating a remarkable and unexpected independence that
subsequent experiments revealed arises, at least in part, from a lateral
segregation of regions most selective for one eye and regions most
selective for one orientation, in the centers and edges of ocular dominance
columns. Since this can also be viewed as a lateral correlation between
binocularity and orientation selectivity, it fits with the simultaneous
emergence of these properties in layers receiving input from layer 4c, and
suggests that each of these properties requires the other.
