[Dynamic detection of light intensity by cat visual cortex neurons].
Dynamics of intensity functions of neurons in area 17 of the visual cortex was studied by the method of time slices on unanesthetized cats. The intensity functions of the neurons were estimated from successive fragments of responses. In 70% of cases during 40-200 ms after beginning of the stimulus action the preferred intensity changed from lesser to greater brightness. The possible role of this effect in the intensity of time coding by the visual cortex neurons is discussed.
