Dynamic characteristics of the visual receptive fields (RF) of neurones in the postero-temporal cortical area (field 21) of alert cat were studied in prolonged repeated testings of RFs in the absence of influence controlled in the experiment. Significant fluctuations of RFs were found in the studied neurones--in changes of RFs form, their size and orientation and also in RF fragmentation, i.e. simultaneous and/or alternating appearance of separate zones (discharge centers) of RFs in the process of testing. It is suggested that plasticity and variability of neurones' RFs in time in this study are mainly due to modulating effects of extravisual structures, uncontrolled in the test,--to reticular inputs in particular.
在对警觉猫颞后皮质区（21区）神经元视觉感受野（RF）进行的长时间重复测试中，在无实验控制影响的情况下研究了其动态特性。在所研究的神经元中发现了感受野的显著波动——感受野的形状、大小和方向发生变化，以及感受野碎片化，即在测试过程中感受野的各个区域（放电中心）同时和/或交替出现。研究表明，本研究中神经元感受野在时间上的可塑性和变异性主要归因于测试中未受控制的视觉外结构的调节作用——尤其是网状结构的输入。
