Document Summary

Tangentially cut sections of v1 labeled for co (a) and smi-32 (b). Blob cells are blobs and look like a blob, grey blob. The small white circles between the blobs are interblobs. Recording the activity of a single interblob neuron. Map out the receptive field associate with the interneuron, the receptive field is where the neuron becomes activated. The video: the object is mapped and put on the x"s if the object is in the receptive field then the interblob neuron will follow, if it moves out of the receptive field the interblob neuron will not fire. By changing the orientation of the stimulus, the interblob will not fire, the one cell only fires at one specific orientation. Relays the specificity of the individual neuron (interblob that only fires at the onset of a visual stimulus only if it is a specific orientation). Responsible for the planning and control of movement.
