[Stereoscopic perception. Probable intervention of pulvinar neurons in the cat (author's transl)]

With the aid of a programme of automatic analysis it has been possible to determine the visual fields of each eye in the case of binocular cells in the pulvinar, lateral-posterior and supageniculate nuclei. The visual properties determined by stimulation of one eye were often similar to those of the other eye. By an objective method of determination of the centre of activity of the receptive fields it was possible to measure disparities between large fields of neurons of these structures. These disparities are compatible with the intervention of these associative nuclei of the postero-lateral thalamus in the mechanisms in stereoscopic vision.
