Mathematical functions are derived which model the retinotopic mapping in the cat's visual cortical areas 17, 18, and 19. All three mappings are simple modifications of a complex power function with an exponent of 0.43. This function is decomposed so as to give an intermediate stage which is common to all three mappings and can be regarded as a model of the lateral geniculate nucleus mapping. The influence of retinotopic mapping on visual receptive fields was studied. The results show that a dependence of the receptive field properties on the position in the visual field is to be expected.
推导了一些数学函数，这些函数对猫的视觉皮层17、18和19区的视网膜拓扑映射进行建模。所有这三种映射都是指数为0.43的复幂函数的简单变体。对该函数进行分解，以给出一个所有这三种映射共有的中间阶段，该阶段可被视为外侧膝状体映射的模型。研究了视网膜拓扑映射对视觉感受野的影响。结果表明，可预期感受野特性对视场中位置的依赖性。
