Stimulus dependence of barrel cortex directional selectivity.

Stimulus dependence of barrel cortex directional selectivity.

Neurons throughout the rat vibrissa somatosensory pathway are sensitive to the angular direction of whisker movement. Could this sensitivity help rats discriminate stimuli? Here we use a simple computational model of cortical neurons to analyze the robustness of directional selectivity. In the model...
