Building a mechanistic model of the development and function of the primary visual cortex. (2012, neutral): “(e) Sample phase responses (f ) Modulation ratios (g) MRs for macaque [64]”
The cortical column: a structure without a function (2005, background): “recording site, neurons display scatter in their preferred orientation and are often broadly tuned (Hetherington & Swindale 1999; Ringach et al. 2002).”
Broadly tuned response properties of diverse inhibitory neuron subtypes in mouse visual cortex (2010, positive): “…average divided by the sum of all responses: OSI = ((SR(q i )sin(2q i )) 2 + (SR(q i )cos(2q i )) 2 ) 1/2 /SR (q i ), where q i is the orientation of each stimulus and R(q i ) is the response to that stimulus (Ringach et al., 2002; Wö rgö tter and Eysel, 1987; Note: OSI = 1 – circular variance).”
Inhibition, spike threshold, and stimulus selectivity in primary visual cortex. (2008, positive): “Support for this view comes from the reported laminar segregation of the two cell types, with simple cells lying only in the thalamic input layers, IV and VI (Martinez et al., 2005); but see Ringach et al. (2002) and Jacob et al., 2003, Soc.”
Highly Selective Receptive Fields in Mouse Visual Cortex (2008, background): “…variance, because the circular variance, which is a single global measure of the tuning curve, combines aspects of both depth of modulation and tuning width into one value and thus does not give as intuitive a description of the tuning curve (but see Ringach et al., 2002 for a thorough exposition).”
GABAA inhibition controls response gain in visual cortex (2011, positive): “4F), we used a global measure of selectivity, the circular variance (Ringach et al., 2002).”
