Clustering of perirhinal neurons with similar properties following visual experience in adult monkeys

Erickson, Cynthia A., Jagadeesh, Bharathi, Desimone, Robert·2000·Nature Neuroscience

Abstract

The functional organization of early visual areas seems to be largely determined during development. However, the organization of areas important for learning and memory, such as perirhinal cortex, may be modifiable in adults. To test this hypothesis, we recorded from pairs of neurons in perirhinal cortex of macaques while they viewed multiple complex stimuli. For novel stimuli, neuronal response preferences for pairs of nearby neurons and far-apart neurons were uncorrelated. However, after one day of experience with the stimuli, response preferences of nearby neurons became more similar. We conclude that specific visual experience induces development of clusters of perirhinal neurons with similar stimulus preferences.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
