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.
