Resolving Single Cone Inputs to Visual Receptive Fields

Descripción
Sumario:With current techniques for mapping receptive fields, it is impossible to resolve the contribution of single cone photoreceptors to the response of central visual neurons. Using adaptive optics to correct for ocular aberrations, we delivered micron-scale spots of light to the receptive field centers of neurons in the macaque lateral geniculate nucleus. Parvocellular LGN neurons mapped this way responded with high reliability to stimulation of single cones.
