TL;DR

Results demonstrate that the joint encoding of color purity and motion distinguishes the functional roles of the four HVAs, whereas tuning preferences segregate them into two groups, and suggest that joint encoding may be related to the primary visual cortex neurons with projections to multiple targets.

Divergent specializations for motion-driven representations in higher lateral and dorsal visual areas

These findings demonstrate that with appropriate inductive biases, specifically, dual-pathway architectures for multi-scale motion processing and training objectives focused on dynamic visual tasks, ANNs can develop functionally useful representations of motion-defined forms that exhibit better alignment with the visua...

Distinct cortical spatial representations learned along disparate visual pathways

Recent experimental studies have found diverse spatial properties, such as head direction tuning and egocentric tuning, of neurons in the postrhinal cortex (POR) and revealed how the POR spatial representations are distinct from the retrosplenial cortex (RSC). However, how these spatial properties of POR neurons emerge...

Functional reorganization of the visual cortex in blindness: a connectivity perspective

Evidence suggests that connectivity should be treated as a mechanism of occipital plasticity, and structural findings alone do not yet explain how anatomical connectivity supports functional recruitment, how structural profiles relate to functional connectivity, or how structure-function coupling develops with sensory...

Dorsomedial striatal neurons encode visual features.

To move through the world, animals extract visual features from objects. Although the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) contains visual processing circuits, visual perception is considered a cortical attribute. Here, we asked whether neurons from the DMS encode visual features in the absence of behavioral contingencies contri...

A unifying principle of chromatic coding across biological and artificial systems

Color is a defining feature of human vision, yet its integration with spatial structure across stages of the visual system is still not fully understood. Classical accounts assumed that color provides little spatial information, being represented coarsely and separately from luminance. Here, we show that the spatial se...

A cognitive representation in primary visual cortex modulated by vision

It is established that an internal model of the world can serve as a primary driver of activity in sensory cortex, and under illumination, visual stimuli gain- modulated this path-invariant activity rather than replacing it with stimulus-driven responses.
