| Abstract | We have recorded the responses of single cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and striate cortex of the macaque monkey. The response characteristics of neurons at these successive visual processing levels were examined with isoluminant gratings, cone-isolating gratings, and luminance-varying gratings. The main findings were: (i) Whereas almost all parvo- and konio-cellular LGN cells are of just two opponent-cell types, either differencing the L and M cones (L(o) and M(o) cells), or the S vs. L + M cones (S(o) cells), relatively few striate cortex simple cells show chromatic responses along these two cardinal LGN axes. Rather, most are shifted away from these LGN chromatic axes as a result of combining the outputs (or the transformed outputs) of S(o) with those of L(o) and/or M(o) cells. (ii) LGN cells on average process color information linearly, exhibiting sinusoidal changes in firing rate to isoluminant stimuli that vary sinusoidally in cone contrast as a function of color angle. Some striate cortex simple cells also give linear responses, but most show an expansive response nonlinearity, resulting in narrower chromatic tuning on average at this level. (iii) There are many more +S(o) than -S(o) LGN cells, but at the striate cortex level -S(o) input to simple cells is as common as +S(o) input. (iv) Overall, the contribution of the S-opponent path is doubled at the level of the striate cortex, relative to that at the LGN. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
