Abstract：
:Orientation tuning of 271 neurons of the cat visual cortex (area 17) was studied with a light bar flashing in the receptive field. Under different conditions, 27-57% of units were found to have double-orientation tuning: they demonstrated the main preferred orientation and an additional preferred orientation. The statistical reliability and reproducibility of additional preferred orientation were shown. The quality of orientation tuning in the second maximum did not differ statistically from the first one. The angle between preferred orientation and additional preferred orientation was either 90 degrees (29% of cases) or an acute one (60.1 +/- 3.1 degrees, 71% of cases). The ratio of discharge frequency in responses to additional preferred orientation and preferred orientation was equal to 0.74 +/- 0.05. Neurons with double-orientation tuning clearly preferred 67 degrees and 157 degrees, while monomodal units preferred 0 degrees and 90 degrees. Probability of the double-tuning increased under bar lengths of near 3 degrees and near 10 degrees and with increase of stimulus/background contrast. At the same time some neurons displayed double-orientation tuning only with relatively low stimulus/background contrast. The proportion of units with double-orientation tuning was lowered by about 1.5-times under general Nembutal narcotization as compared with local anesthesia of the animal. In about one-third of units simultaneous stimulation by two flashing lines crossing in the receptive field center under an angle specific for the cell, evoked a response from 1.5 to four times larger than to the preferred orientation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
