| Abstract | Optical imaging studies have played an important role in mapping the orientation selectivity and ocular dominance of neurons across an extended area of primary visual cortex (V1). Such studies have produced images with a more or less smooth and regular spatial distribution of relevant neuronal response properties. This is in spite of the fact that results from electrophysiological recordings, though limited in their number and spatial distribution, show significant scatter/variability in the relevant response properties of nearby neurons. We present a simulation of the optical imaging experiments of ocular dominance and orientation selectivity using a computational model of the primary visual cortex. The simulations assume that the optical imaging signal is proportional to the averaged response of neighboring neurons. The model faithfully reproduces ocular dominance columns and orientation pinwheels in the presence of realistic scatter of single cell preferred responses. In addition,we find the simulated optical imaging of orientation pinwheels to be remarkably robust, with the pinwheel structure maintained up to an addition of /spl plusmn/60 degrees of random scatter in the orientation preference of single cells. Our results suggest that an optical imaging result does not necessarily, by itself, provide any obvious upper bound for the scatter of the underlying neuronal response properties on local scales. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
