Geniculate orientation biases seen with moving sine wave gratings: implications for a model of simple cell afferent
Experimental Brain Research
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Orientation bias of cat dorsal lateral geniculate (LGN) neurones varied with the spatial frequency of a moving sine wave grating. At low spatial frequencies there was little orientation bias, whereas near the high-frequency limit, the dependence on orientation was marked. It is proposed that, if such cells were to drive the cortical inhibitory interneurones responsible for the orientation sensitivity of striate simple cells, it would explain many distinguishing features of cortical cells besides their orientation sensitivity.

01:13The Cochlea
The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.
01:05Mechanism of Ciliary Motion
The ciliary structures were first seen in 1647 by Antonie Leeuwenhoek while observing the protozoans. In lower organisms, these appendages are responsible for cell movement, while in higher organisms, these appendages help in the movement of the extracellular fluids within the body cavities.
