Orientational differences in human visual acuity can be related parametrically to the distribution of optimal orientations for the receptive fields of neurons in the striate cortex of the rhesus monkey. Both behavioral measures of acuity and the distribution of receptive fields exhibit maximums for stimuli horizontal or vertical relative to the retina; the effect diminishes with distance from the fovea. The anisotropy in the neuronal population and in visual acuity appear to be determined by postnatal visual experience.
人类视敏度的方向差异可以参数化地与恒河猴纹状皮层中神经元感受野的最佳方向分布相关联。视敏度的行为测量和感受野分布对于相对于视网膜水平或垂直的刺激都表现出最大值；这种效应随着与中央凹距离的增加而减弱。神经元群体和视敏度中的各向异性似乎是由出生后的视觉经验决定的。
