Some aspects of comparative sensory physiology are reviewed in the context of the historical development. Emphasis is placed on the concepts how spatial and temporal stimulus patterns are processed into nervous excitation patterns and projected in the brain: Both receptor organs and neuron networks may act as selective filters for certain features of the stimulus situation. Neural projections represent not only the spatial distribution of the stimulus pattern but also other parameters. Excitation patterns resulting from the stimulus situation are compared in the neuronal networks with patterns inherited, learned, or inherited and modified by learning. The result of this comparison may then trigger the behavior necessary under the conditions present.
本文在历史发展的背景下回顾了比较感觉生理学的一些方面。重点在于探讨空间和时间刺激模式如何被处理为神经兴奋模式并投射到大脑中的概念:感受器器官和神经元网络都可能作为刺激情境某些特征的选择性过滤器。神经投射不仅代表刺激模式的空间分布,还代表其他参数。由刺激情境产生的兴奋模式在神经元网络中与遗传、学习或通过学习遗传并修改的模式进行比较。这种比较的结果随后可能触发当前条件下所需的行为。
