  • Feedforward mechanisms of cross-orientation interactions in mouse V1

    2022, Neuron
    Citation Excerpt :

    There are conflicting views on the roles that feedforward and recurrent cortical circuitry play in generating cortical representations of the visual scene (Carandini and Heeger, 2011; Priebe and Ferster, 2012; Alitto and Dan, 2010). It is clear that the intricate recurrent cortical circuitry modifies representations (Hubel and Wiesel, 1962; Nelson and Frost, 1978; Gilbert and Wiesel, 1990), but the convergent inputs from the thalamus also play an essential role in the emergence of cortical selectivity (Chapman et al., 1991; Reid and Alonso, 1995; Ferster et al., 1996; Jin et al., 2011; Lien and Scanziani, 2013). Parsing the contributions of these circuit elements is particularly interesting when multiple stimuli are presented, as cortical responses to these stimuli are often nonlinear.

  • Phase-specific Surround suppression in Mouse Primary Visual Cortex Correlates with Figure Detection Behavior Based on Phase Discontinuity

    2018, Neuroscience
    Citation Excerpt :

    In monkey, cat, and mouse V1, a widely observed effect of surround modulation is surround suppression, in which visual responses are suppressed by large stimuli extending into the RF surround (Hubel and Wiesel, 1965; Blakemore and Tobin, 1972; DeAngelis et al., 1994; Levitt and Lund, 1997; Cavanaugh et al., 2002a,b; Van den Bergh et al., 2010; Adesnik et al., 2012). Previous studies have found that the surround suppression exhibits orientation selectivity, i.e., the strength of suppression is stronger (weaker) when the orientation of the surround stimulus is more (less) similar to that of the RF stimulus (Nelson and Frost, 1978; Knierim and van Essen, 1992; Cavanaugh et al., 2002a,b; Jones et al., 2002; Shushruth et al., 2012; Self et al., 2014). The surround suppression is also tuned to other stimulus features, such as stimulus contrast, motion speed, and spatial phase (Cao and Schiller, 2003; Xu et al., 2005; Shen et al., 2007).
