Abstract：
:Simple and complex cells of visual areas of cats may be reliably classified according to the modulatory index (MI) of their responses. This investigation is aimed at analysing the MI in area 18 when a small region (about 200-400 microm in diameter) of area 17 was inactivated with a microinjection of GABA, in anesthetized cats. Cells were stimulated with sine-wave gratings whose orientation, spatial, and temporal frequencies were optimal for the studied unit. The AC and DC response components, and the MI were computed along with fast Fourier transforms of evoked discharges recorded as peristimulus time histograms. Results showed that these response components were relatively unaffected in simple cells, whereas complex cells exhibited large changes when area 17 was silenced. In particular, a large proportion of complex cells showed a MI greater than 1, thereby adopting a response pattern resembling simple cells. It is suggested that this subpopulation of complex cells receives a direct input from geniculate X cells.
