Topic: infragranular layers

Understanding how our brain integrates information across the visual space is crucial for understanding how visual information is encoded. In the supragranular and infragranular layers of the primary visual cortex (V1) of higher mammals, orientation-biased horizontal connections span several millimeters and connect neurons that encode different portions of the visual space [1], while connections in the granular layers remain local.We presented disks of varying radii and annuli of varying inner radii to anesthetized cats to investigate laminar differences in spatial integration of the stimuli i
