Abstract:
A role of both geniculate and tecto-thalamic channels in visual suppression has been considered. Some evolutional aspects of visual suppression are discussed. Both a hypothetical scheme of the multilevel structural and functional organization of visual suppression and a neurophysiological basis of the integration of object's elements to whole image are suggested from the author's papers. The functional role of visual suppression has been not limited the visual stability only but has been considered wider as the important stage of the visual perception by which both the proprioceptive sensation of the object's spatial position arise and the preparation of the visual system for the survey and the processing object's pure visual information (brightness, color, form, etc.) go on. The match of both proprioceptive and visual sensations lead in finally to spatial-visual image of the object.
