Lateral spread of orientation selectivity in V1 is controlled by intracortical cooperativity

Neurons in the primary visual cortex receive subliminal information originating from the periphery of their receptive fields through a variety of cortical connections. In the cat primary visual cortex, long-range horizontal axons have been reported to preferentially bind to distant columns of simila...
