Abstract:
Despite its great complexity, a great deal is known about the organization and information-processing properties of the visual system. However, the neural correlates of visual awareness are not yet understood. By studying patients with blindsight, the primary visual cortex (V1) has attracted a lot of attention recently. Although this brain area appears to be important for visual awareness, its exact role is still a matter of debate. Interactive models propose a direct role for V1 in generating visual awareness through recurrent processing. Hierarchal models instead propose that awareness is ge

Abstract:
Precise point-to-point connectivity is the basis of ordered maps of the visual field in the brain. One point in the visual field is represented at one locus in the dLGN and one locus in primary visual cortex. A fundamental problem in the development of most sensory systems is the creation of the topographic projections which underlie these maps. Mechanisms ranging from ordered ingrowth of fibres, through chemical guidance of axons to sculpting of the map from an early exuberant input have been proposed. However, we know little about how ordered maps are created beyond the first relay. What we

Abstract:
Many neurons in mammalian primary visual cortex have properties such as sharp tuning for contour orientation, strong selectivity for motion direction, and insensitivity to stimulus polarity, that are not shared with their sub-cortical counterparts. Successful models have been developed for a number of these properties but in one case, direction selectivity, there is no consensus about underlying mechanisms. This thesis describes a model that accounts for many of the empirical observations concerning direction selectivity. The model comprises a single column of cat primary visual cortex and a s

How do circuits in the mammalian cerebral cortex encode properties of the sensory environment in a way that can drive adaptive behavior? This question is fundamental to neuroscience, but it has been very difficult to approach directly. Various computational and theoretical models can explain a wide range of phenomena observed in the primary visual cortex (V1), including the anatomical organization of its circuits, the development of functional properties like orientation tuning, and behavioral effects like surround modulation. However, so far no model has been able to bridge these levels of de

The primate visual system represents an ideal model for the study of neural development and activity-dependent neuroplasticity. The final disposition of the visual cortex is based on a genetically determined cellular organization programmed to become influenced by the animal's environment during a critical period in early postnatal development. Thus neural connections are shaped by the sensory experience of the animal. This plasticity of the visual system declines after the closure of the critical window, and while plasticity is still present in mature animals, its strength is greatly diminish

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la réponse physiologique du cortex visuel primaire à des stimuli visuels complexes. Nous avons décrit la reproductibilité et l'irrégularité des signaux corticaux, quantifiés par l'enregistrement intracellulaire. Une analyse comparative montre que la reproductibilité est modulée par le stimulus. En condition naturelle, l'activité en potentiel de membrane est à la fois irrégulière et reproductible, et les potentiels d'action sont peu nombreux mais très précis. Cette dépendance du bruit à la stimulation est reproduite plus généralement par des modèles de réseaux de neurones

Abstract:
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University<br>The effect of age on synapses in the neuropil of layers 2/3 in primary visual cortex was determined in 12 rhesus monkeys of various ages (6-33 years old). All of the monkeys had been behaviorally tested. As determined using the size–frequency method, there is a decrease in the numerical density of symmetric, but not asymmetric, synapses with age. There is no significant correlation between the loss of symmetric synapse frequency and the cognitive impairment indices (CII) of the 12 behaviorally tested monkeys. This lack of correlation between synapse frequenc
