Mechanisms of binocular integration in the mammalian primary visual cortex
- Abstract:
-
Combining the images seen by the two eyes into a single percept is one of the most challenging computational tasks that the visual cortex has to solve. The first stage at which information from the two retinae converges on individual neurons is the primary visual cortex, VI or area 17. Here, I describe anatomical segregation and interocular suppression as two mechanisms for obviating potential interocular conflict.
I have studied VI of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus
