Abstract

Color and black and white line stimulation produce qualitatively and quantitatively different 2-deoxy[14C]glucose column patterns in the striate cortex of macaque monkeys. Microdensitometry of these stimulus-dependent columns reveals interlaminar density differences that serve as a signature for the stimulus conditions which produced them. Such columns are individually distinct and form a three-dimensional mosaic throughout striate cortex.
