Spatial frequency tuning in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the
thalamus (LGN) and primary visual cortex (V1) differ substantially. LGN
responses are largely low-pass in spatial frequency, whereas the
majority of V1 neurons have bandpass characteristics. To study this
transformation in spatial selectivity, we measured the dynamics of
spatial frequency tuning using a reverse correlation technique. We find
that a large proportion of V1 cells show inseparable responses in
spatial frequency and time. In several cases, tuning becomes more
selective over the course of the response, and the preferred spatial
frequency shifts from low to higher frequencies. Many responses also
show suppression at low spatial frequencies, which correlates with the
increases in response selectivity and the shifts of preferred spatial
frequency. These results indicate that suppression plays an important
role in the generation of bandpass selectivity in V1.
Key words:
