1 The functional organization of the visual cortex in primates Dominated by LGN M-cell input Drosal stream for motion perception & spatial localization V5 LIP/7a V2 V4 IT Ventral stream for object recognition & discrimination Dominated by LGN P- & K-cell input
2 Understanding how visual information is processed in the brain Three stages of neural processing 1. Low-level processing: First-order stimulus feature information (stimulus contrast, orientation, spatial frequency, temporal frequency, wavelength) is processed. 2. Mid-level processing: Grouping or linking of first-order stimulus information. 3. High-level processing: Decision-making mechanisms: Initiation of perceptual responses, e.g., recognition of an object in visual scenes.
3 1. Topographic organization of V1 2. Cell classification--simple vs. complex, & hypercomplex? 3. Orientation tuning-feed forward vs. long-range signals 4. Direction selectivity 5. Spatial / temporal frequency tuning 6. Ocular dominance 7. Functional organization (1) Ocular dominance columns 8. Functional organization (2) Orientation columns
4 Stimulus flashed ON Orientation Selectivity Spike trains for different stimulus orientations. Orientation tuning is one of the biggest differences between LGN & cortex. Orientation selectivity is an emergent (i.e., not present in the LGN) & invariant property (i.e. it is not qualitatively altered by other stimulus manipulations). For example, a cell will typically exhibit the same preferred orientation for a bright vs. a dark bar. From Hubel & Wiesel, 1962
5 Orientation Selectivity Examples of orientation tuning functions for three representative neurons. Orientation tuning is shown by the great majority of cortical cells and by all functional classes of cortical neurons. The preferred orientation and sharpness of orientation tuning are unaffected by stimulus contrast, when gratings were used as stimuli.
6 Orientation/Direction Selectivity Polar plots of orientation tuning for 4 representative neurons. The angle represents the stimulus orientation & the radial dimension is the response in spikes/sec. Drifting gratings From DeValois, 1982
7 Mechanisms of orientation selectivity Simple Cell LGN RFs Simple cells produced by converging inputs from a row of LGN that have the same RF polarity.
8 Simple Cell Model ON LGN centers make up the ON subregions in simple RFs. The OFF subregions reflect the centers of OFF center LGN cells (the LGN surround are not very obvious at cortex). The degree of orientation tuning will vary with the number of LGN inputs and the orderliness of their spatial retinotopy. From Wandel, 1995
9 Long-range & local connections affects orientation selectivity Local Orientation columns Long-range Bosking et al, 1997 From Senpigel & Blakemore, 1966
10 1. Topographic organization of V1 2. Cell classification--simple vs. complex, & hypercomplex? 3. Orientation tuning-feed forward vs. long-range signals 4. Direction selectivity 5. Spatial frequency tuning 6. Ocular dominance 7. Functional organization (1) Ocular dominance columns 8. Functional organization (2) Orientation columns
11 Direction Selectivity Spike trains for different stimulus orientations and different directions of movement. This cell is selective for both stimulus orientation and the direction of movement. From Hubel & Wiesel, 1962
12 Direction Selectivity Distribution of directional selectivity for a population of cortical cells. The direction ratio = the response in the non-preferred direction / response in the preferred direction. The bimodal nature of the distribution suggests that direction selective cells for a distinct subgroup. RF Preferred Non-Preferred 100 spikes/sec 10 spikes/ sec From DeValois

14 Directional Selectivity: Simple Cell Evidence for nonlinear contributions to directional selectivity Bicuculine blocks GABA mediated inhibition & as shown here eliminates directional selectivity in some cells. From Sillito, 1977

17 Spatial Frequency Tuning Examples of SF tuning functions for 6 cells recorded in a single penetration. The RFs were superimposed. Note the that at a given eccentricity the peak SF cover a wide range of SFs.

30 Neural Basis of Visual Perception Neural Detectors & Network Dorsal Stream of the Extrastriate Visual Areas Primary Visual Cortex (Area 17, V1, Striate Cortex) Ventral Stream of the Extrastriate Visual Areas Network of Neurons Neurons Retina LGN Visual Cortex
31 Three stages of cortical processing 1. Low-level: First-order stimulus feature information (orientation, SF, TF) is processed: V1 2. Mid-level: Grouping or linking of first-order stimulus information: Low to mid-level extrastriate visual areas (V2, V3, V4, MT, & MST). 3. High-level: Initiation of perceptual responses, e.g., recognition of an object in visual scenes: Higher-centers (IT, LIP, beyond).
32 Ability to integrate local information over a large area RF of V1 neurons are too small to see the circle. V4 neurons can integrate (link) preferred orientations of Gabor patches (Curvature detectors). IT neurons can decode information from V > Seeing a circle (shape). 7 deg 1.6 deg
33 The size of RF increases with retinal eccentricities and cortical areas in the streams /V4 /V3 (V5) Bullier et al, 2003
34 Hierarchical Organization The large number of interconnections probably are important for coordinating processing between parallel streams and dynamic regulation of information flow. from Van Essen et al., 1992
35 Functional Streams Visual system separates different types of information in to parallel, anatomically segregated processing streams. Generally primate and human brains are considered to have 2 dominant streams 1) the occipitotemporal pathway, the ventral stream, which is thought to be crucial for object identification (the what pathway) & 2) the occipitoparietal pathway, the dorsal stream, which is thought to be crucial for spatial relationships & visual guidance of movements (the where pathway).
36 Major input to Where stream is dominated by M-signals, whereas What stream is dominated by P- and K-signals Kaplan, 2003 V5 Where What Extrastriate visual areas V5 V2 V4
37 Early evidence for two functional streams from a PET study Dorsal (Parietal) Ventral (Temporal) Haxby et al, 1994 Face & location matching > Control Face Matching > Control Location Matching > Control
38 Inferior Temporal lobe ( several TE areas) was named as object or image identification areas because IT cells respond well to visual images of natural object (e.g., faces, hands etc.) Temporal lobe
39 Inferior Temporal (TE) neurons respond well to simplified but critical features of object image Temporal lobe
40 Inferior temporal neurons are specifically activated by faces. Convergence and integration of key feature information is necessary for identification of a face. From Tanifuji, 2003

44 Information processing by neurons of our visual brain 1. Encoding of stimulus contrast and spatial-temporal frequency information (RGC & LGN) 2. Detection and encoding of orientation and spatial frequency of lines and contours (V1) 3. Encoding of angles or curvatures (V2, V4) 4. Encoding the spatial relationships of orientated lines, textures or contours (Linking)(V2, V4) 5. Decoding of linked features Perception of face )(IT, beyond) V5 LIP/7a V2 V4 IT
