The spectral response patterns of single cells recorded from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) were examined in light of recent behavioral evidence indicating that there are significant variations in visual sensitivity and color vision within this species. The principal results from an analysis of data obtained from 1084 LGN cells were that (a) a significantly higher proportion of cells showing spectrally-opponent response patterns were recorded from female subjects, and (b) the proportion of spectrally-opponent units showing RG response patterns is very much higher in females than in males. These gender-related differences in the response patterns of LGN cells are discussed in the context of the behavioral results.
根据最近的行为学证据，松鼠猴（Saimiri sciureus）外侧膝状核（LGN）记录的单细胞光谱反应模式得到了研究，该证据表明该物种的视觉敏感度和色觉存在显著差异。对从1084个LGN细胞获得的数据进行分析的主要结果是：（a）从雌性受试者记录到的呈现光谱拮抗反应模式的细胞比例显著更高；（b）呈现RG反应模式的光谱拮抗单位在雌性中的比例比雄性高得多。在行为学结果的背景下讨论了LGN细胞反应模式中这些与性别相关的差异。
