Interocular transfer of motion after-effects was assessed in the lightly-anaesthetized feline striate cortex. Neurones were adapted with square-wave gratings of optimal orientation and spatial frequency, or with randomly textured fields, drifting continuously at optimal velocity in their preferred or null directions. Neural after-effects were assessed as consequent changes in directional bias, using similar test patterns swept back-and-forth in the same directions and presented to the same or opposite eyes. All results were compared with controls, embodying similar tests following a period of exposure to a uniform background or stationary textured field. The majority of binocularly-driven complex and simple cells tested evinced positive interocular transfer of after-effects. After-effects, whether elicited monocularly or interocularly, were direction-specific. With gratings, after-effects elicited interocularly were always weaker than those obtained monocularly. After-effects evoked monocularly by texture adaptation were weak in comparison to those evoked by gratings; interocular transfer in this case was negligible. In neurones strongly dominated by one eye, adaptation of the non-driving eye yielded, at best, extremely weak after-effects through the other eye. In purely monocular neurones, no transfer could be induced. These results confirm the expectation that motion after-effects arise cortically rather than precortically. The partial interocular transfer seen in binocularly-driven cortical cells suggests that these neurones represent a second-stage processing of inputs from lower-order complex (or simple) cells, themselves driven monocularly or strongly dominated by one eye.

在轻度麻醉的猫科动物纹状体皮质中评估了眼间运动后效的转移。神经元适应了具有最佳方向和空间频率的方波光栅,或具有随机纹理的场,并以最佳速度在其优选或零方向上连续漂移。使用在相同方向上来回扫描并呈现给相同或相反眼睛的相似测试模式,将神经后效应评估为定向偏差的随之变化。将所有结果与对照组进行比较,在暴露于均匀的背景或固定的纹理区域一段时间后,进行了类似的测试。所测试的大多数双眼球驱动的复杂和简单细胞均显示出后效应的阳性眼间转移。无论是单眼还是单眼引起的后效应都是特定于方向的。对于光栅,在区域间引起的后效应总是比在区域间引起的后效应弱。与光栅相比,由纹理适应引起的单眼效应较弱; 在这种情况下,眼间转移可以忽略不计。在一只眼睛强烈支配的神经元中,非驱动眼的适应最多只能通过另一只眼睛产生极弱的后遗症。在纯单眼神经元中,无法诱导转移。这些结果证实了运动后效应是在皮质而不是在胸前产生的期望。在双眼球驱动的皮质细胞中看到的部分眼间转移表明,这些神经元代表了来自低阶复杂 (或简单) 细胞的输入的第二阶段处理,这些细胞本身由单眼驱动或由一只眼睛强烈控制。
