Integrative Properties of Parastriate Neurons

  • Chapter
Brain and Human Behavior

Abstract

When a cat learns to associate a click with a light or a touch with a particular visual stimulus or discriminates one kind of visual stimulus from another, as judged by appropriate quantitative behavioral tests, we assume that there has occurred in the cats’s nervous system an alteration in the relationship between, for instance, the auditory and visual systems or the visual and somatosensory systems, as the case may be. The present research is aimed at discovering the mechanisms of such a change in relationships.
