摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter examines the extent to which current concepts about nature of cortical codes and representations can be generalized striate cortex functions. The functions primary visual are not confined feature extraction, but an integral part constructivistic processes that underlay perception. In addition elaboration response selectivity for elementary features some their conjunctions, seems play active role in state-, context-, attention-dependent selection grouping distributed responses as any other area. Striate also appears share with areas mechanisms synaptic plasticity required experience-dependent formation durable associations among responses. analysis precise temporal relations between simultaneously recorded several neurons reveals existence highly dynamic, context-sensitive synchronization phenomena. Their numerous close perceptual suggest they epiphenomenal essential processing coding. structure function offer itself a suitable model general
