[Relation between the size and eccentricity of the receptive fields of lateral suprasylvian neurons].

Abstract

A linear interrelationship exists between the size of the receptive field in the middle suprasylvian area and the distance of the field center (up to 30 degrees) from the glance fixation point. The slope of the regression line describing this interrelationship was shown to be different for the receptive fields situated along either vertical or horizontal meridians. The factor of magnification of the visual system's previous level seems to underlie the dependence of changes in the receptive fields size on the eccentricity.
