Figure 5. Principles underlying sensory map topography in primary visual cortex.

Figure 5

a, ON and OFF domains run perpendicular to ocular dominance columns and are separated by ~0.5 mm from each other. Retinotopy changes smoothly at ~0.5 RF/mm. b, Schematic of how the thalamo-cortical architecture could make ON receptive fields rotate around OFF receptive fields. c, Cartoon explaining how changes in ON/OFF retinotopy result in changes in orientation/direction preference.
