Mapping the Gates. Focus on “Relationship Between Physiological Response Type (RA and SA) and Vibrissal Receptive Field of Neurons Within the Rat Trigeminal Ganglion”

Abstract

Four decades ago, Hubel and Wiesel demonstrated that cortical neurons show a response specificity that does not exist in the thalamus or retina and triggered a universal pursuit after cortical mechanisms of perception. Under this pursuit hid an implicit assumption that whatever is needed to be known
