Figure 5. Lateral inhibition gives rise to an acuity difference between orientations.

Figure 5

(A) Schematic description of the stimulus: sinusoidal contrast gratings moving around the yaw (left), and pitch (right) axes. (B) Normalized mean responses to moving sinusoidal gratings with different spatial periods, moving around the pitch (continuous) and yaw (dashed) axes. Responses were normalized to the maximal response amplitude across all spatial periods. Shading denotes +/− 1 SEM. (C) Response strength as a function of the spatial period of the grating moving around the pitch (continuous) and yaw (dashed) axes. Error bars denote +/− 1 SEM. **p< 0.001 in a two-tailed student’s t-test with unequal variances. See also Figure S5.
