[Receptive fields of lateral suprasylvian neurons in the cat].
The receptive field structure of single neurons in lateral suprasylvian area was investigated in cat. Receptive fields were of larger sizes comparing with visual cortex (up to 2000 sq. deg.). The dimensions of receptive fields measured by black objects and light spots revealed differences, the receptive fields being usually larger when black objects were used. The experiments showed that the visually sensitive neurons of the lateral suprasylvian area could be activated by stationary flashing light stimulus. The neurons were qualified in three groups as on, off and on-off. Distribution of the activity all over the receptive field surface was investigated using flashing light spots. Receptive fields with the plural discharge centres were revealed.
