Cats were reared in a light-tight box in which the only source of illumination was a 9-musec strobe flash every 2 sec. This allowed them to experience visual form but they did not experience visual movement. Receptive-field properties of single units in area 17 of the visual cortex of cats reared in stroboscopic illumination (strobe-reared) were compared with properties of units in area 17 of normally reared cats. In strobe-reared cats both direction selectivity and orientation selectivity were greatly reduced relative to normally reared cats, and some units in the strobe-reared cats responded only to strobe flashes.
猫被饲养在一个不透光的箱子里,其中唯一的照明源是每隔2秒闪烁一次的9微秒频闪闪光灯。这使它们能够体验视觉形状,但无法体验视觉运动。将在频闪照明下饲养(频闪饲养)的猫的视觉皮层17区单个神经元的感受野特性,与正常饲养的猫的17区神经元特性进行了比较。与正常饲养的猫相比,频闪饲养的猫的方向选择性和方向选择性都大大降低,并且频闪饲养的猫中的一些神经元仅对频闪闪光有反应。
