[Conditioned feedback and inhibitory reorganization of the receptive fields of the cortical neurons as a basis for the subconscious change in the thresholds of visual recognition and detection].

In the paper three groups of facts are compared: significant adaptative and adaptational modification of receptive fields of cat's visual cortex neurones, conditioned selective subsensory change of the threshold of perception (detection and recognition) of a letter by man in relation to two control ones and the role of spatially specialized cortical inhibition in formation and adaptative modifications of receptive fields and detector properties of the visual cortex neurones. Interconnection is discussed of the phenomena described as well as community of their mechanisms.
