摘要
A key feature of advanced motion processing in the primate dorsal stream is the existence of pattern cells—specialized cortical neurons that integrate local motion signals into pattern-invariant representations of global direction. Pattern cells have also been reported in rodent visual cortex, but it is unknown whether the tuning of these neurons results from truly integrative, nonlinear mechanisms or trivially arises from linear receptive fields (RFs) with a peculiar geometry. Here, we show that pattern cells in rat primary (V1) and lateromedial (LM) visual cortex process motion direction in a way that cannot be explained by the linear spatiotemporal structure of their RFs. Instead, their tuning properties are consistent with and well explained by those of units in a state-of-the-art neural network model of the dorsal stream. This suggests that similar cortical processes underlay motion representation in primates and rodents. The latter could thus serve as powerful model systems to unravel the underlying circuit-level mechanisms.
