Neural synergy in visual grouping: when good continuation meets common fate.

abstract：:Neural degeneration in glaucoma involves retinal ganglion cells and neurons of their major target, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Dendrites of relay LGN neurons projecting to the visual cortex were studied by immunocytochemical and quantitative Sholl analysis in combination with confocal microscopy and 3D-morph...

abstract：:An observer's ability to discriminate the angular direction of a moving grating depends on the grating orientation. Observers can more accurately judge the angular direction of vertical or horizontal gratings than oblique gratings. We discovered that this oblique effect becomes very large at high spatial frequencies i...
