TABLE 2.

Receptive-field differences between correlated and uncorrelated YC–YA cell pairs

Peak-Time Difference (YC − YA) Zero-Crossing Difference (YC − YA) Rebound Time Difference (YC − YA) Half-Duration Difference (YC − YA) Biphasic Index (YC/YA) Rebound Index (YC/YA)
Tightly correlated (n = 15) −1.86** −3.00** −4.65* −2.79* 1.10 1.07
Uncorrelated (n = 69) −2.40*** −3.77*** −4.74*** −2.34** 1.07 1.04
RF Center Size (YC/YA) RF Surround Size (YC/YA) RF Surround/Center Amplitude (YC/YA) Response Gain (YC/YA) Response offset (YC − YA) Spatial Linearity (YC/YA)
Tightly correlated (n = 15) 1.55* 1.52 1.79 1.20 0.00 1.63
Uncorrelated (n = 69) 1.67*** 1.41 2.23 1.26 0.02 3.65**

Peak-time difference: the YA peak time was subtracted from the YC peak time (i.e. YC − YA) for each cell pair and then the results were averaged (same for zero-crossing, rebound time, half-duration, and response offset). Biphasic index: it was calculated separately for each cell and then the YC/YA ratios were averaged for all cell pairs (same for receptive-field surround/center amplitude and spatial linearity). Receptive-field center size: a ratio was calculated for each cell pair (YC RF center size/YA RF center size) and then the results were averaged (same for RF surround size and response gain). The receptive-field size ratio was obtained from the DoG fits.
