Spatial vision in strabismic cats.

abstract：:Midcervical spinal interneurons form a complex and diffuse network and may be involved in modulating phrenic motor output. The intent of the current work was to enable a better understanding of midcervical "network-level" connectivity by pairing the neurophysiological multielectrode array (MEA) data with histological ...

While behavioural studies have demonstrated precise interfinger temporal judgments, the underlying neural mechanism remains unknown.
