Orientation bias of cat dorsal lateral geniculate (LGN) neurones varied with the spatial frequency of a moving sine wave grating. At low spatial frequencies there was little orientation bias, whereas near the high-frequency limit, the dependence on orientation was marked. It is proposed that, if such cells were to drive the cortical inhibitory interneurones responsible for the orientation sensitivity of striate simple cells, it would explain many distinguishing features of cortical cells besides their orientation sensitivity.
猫背外侧膝状体（LGN）神经元的方向偏好随移动正弦波光栅的空间频率而变化。在低空间频率时，方向偏好很小，而在高频极限附近，对方向的依赖性很明显。有人提出，如果这些细胞驱动负责纹状简单细胞方向敏感性的皮质抑制性中间神经元，那么除了它们的方向敏感性之外，这将解释皮质细胞的许多显著特征。
