Response characteristics of MT neurons in animals with early V1 lesion. A–C, Distributions of response strength, SNR (Rodman et al., 1989), and response latency of MT neurons with receptive fields inside the V1 scotoma, those that crossed the boundary of the V1 scotoma, and those outside the V1 scotoma. Distributions of response strength and SNR of normal animals are also illustrated. The arrows indicate median values. D, Relationship between receptive field width and receptive field center eccentricity. The lines represent the power functions fitted to data from cells with receptive fields inside and outside the V1 scotomas.
