Many neurobiologists already feel so distracted from their research by the duties imposed by their institutions and the technical management of their laboratories that they are impatient with the further distraction of philosophical debate. In any case, some of the problems raised by philosoph

On the Understanding of the Visual Centers of the Midbrain been great interest in the relationship between the retinomesencephalic and the retinodiencephalic pathways. These two pathways are formed by a major division of the optic tract, a division that raises several fundamental issues: Are the two pathways formed by branches of the same axons (and hence

On the Understanding of Visual Cortexvisual cortex; for the cortex, like other visual centers, is likely to bear a strong imprint of the retina. Many of the intriguing aspects of the physiology of cells in the visual cortex, however, such as their orientation-selectivity, binocularity, and much of their susceptibility to visual depriva

On the Understanding of Retinal Topographyve cells are recognized, separated by plexiform (synaptic) layers. The receptor cells lie on the outer surface of the retina, with the tips of their outer segments enclosed by cells of the pigment epithelium; bipolar, amacrine, interplexiform, and horizontal cells form the middle layer, and ganglion

On the Understanding of the Visual Pathways’ Dependence on the Visual Environmentsual experience. Important concepts have emerged, such as the critical period of maturation, the plasticity of stimulus specificities of individual cortical neurons, and the competition of the two eyes for synaptic space on cortical cells. The purpose of this chapter is not, however, to review this

On the Understanding of Visual Psychophysics and Behaviorture of their organization, then some evidence of that arrangement should be detectable in the visual performance of mammals; i.e., in their capacity, assessed by psychophysical or behavioral techniques, to respond to visual stimuli. That evidence is the subject of this chapter. The explanation of v
