This paper introduces so-called hypercomplex cells. At 60 pages, it is one of the longest papers written by David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel.

[edit] Notes

• A small region in the field of vision is represented in the striate cortex (V1) many times.
  • A cortical column of neurons in the striate cortex is needed for each orientation in a given region.
• Looked at regions just lateral to the striate.
  • "Visual II" lateral to striate
    • named by Talbot and Marshall - which they have shown to be involved in vision.
  • "Visual area III" the area just lateral to Visual II - named by this paper.
• Used Nissl- and myelin-stained sections to show correlations between these areas.
• Used the Nauta technique to establish that visual areas II and III receive direct projections from visual area I.
