Coordinated optimization of visual cortical maps (II) Numerical studies
Lars Reichl, Dominik Heide, Siegrid Löwel +3
It is an attractive hypothesis that the spatial structure of visual cortical architecture can be explained by the coordinated optimization of multiple visual cortical maps represen…
Coordinated optimization of visual cortical maps (I) Symmetry-based analysis
Lars Reichl, Dominik Heide, Siegrid Löwel +3
In the primary visual cortex of primates and carnivores, functional architecture can be characterized by maps of various stimulus features such as orientation preference (OP), ocul…
Reorganization of columnar architecture in the growing visual cortex
Wolfgang Keil, Karl-Friedrich Schmidt, Siegrid Loewel +1
Many cortical areas increase in size considerably during postnatal development, progressively displacing neuronal cell bodies from each other. At present, little is known about how…
Inter-areal coordination of columnar architectures during visual cortical development
Matthias Kaschube, Michael Schnabel, Siegrid Löwel +1
The occurrence of a critical period of plasticity in the visual cortex has long been established, yet its function in normal development is not fully understood. Here we show that…
Pinwheel stability, pattern selection and the geometry of visual space
Michael Schnabel, Matthias Kaschube, Fred Wolf
It has been proposed that the dynamical stability of topological defects in the visual cortex reflects the Euclidean symmetry of the visual world. We analyze defect stability and p…
Self-organization and the selection of pinwheel density in visual cortical development
Matthias Kaschube, Michael Schnabel, Fred Wolf
Self-organization of neural circuitry is an appealing framework for understanding cortical development, yet its applicability remains unconfirmed. Models for the self-organization…
