Our research investigates the impact of visual stimuli precision on orientation processing in higher cortical areas. Specifically, we examined cortical area 21a in cats, often considered the equivalent of primate area V4 within the hierarchical organization of visual processing. 'MotionClouds' (MC), pseudo-natural stimuli, were used to explore orientation precision's effects on neuronal responses. MC precision is governed by four parameters: the orientation, the spatial frequency (SF), Bθ and Bsf. We analyzed responses from 411 neurons in area 21a, seeking patterns in orientation precision processing. Our findings reveal a large range of neuronal responses. A significant proportion of neurons (56%) exhibited peak discharge at the highest precision levels, indicating preferences for finely-tuned stimuli. In contrast, 33% displayed maximum discharge at lower precision levels. Within the high-precision group, there were varied responses: 39% were highly sensitive to the highest precision, 16% showed a gradual decreasing activation with reduced precision, and 44% had increased firing rates at two precision levels. The lower precision group also presented variability: 60% of neurons had peak activation at sub-maximal precision, while 40% increased activation towards lower precision. These results highlight a broad spectrum of precision response profiles in higher cortical visual areas and suggest a pivotal role for the ventral stream in precision processing. However, the question of how the cortex utilizes this precision information to influence visual perception remains open. Our study contributes to the understanding of cortical visual processing, emphasizing the complexity and variability in neuronal response to visual precision. Supported by CIHR and NSERC.
