Cell structure and function in the visual cortex of the cat

1. The organization of the visual cortex was studied with a technique that allows one to determine the physiology and morphology of individual cells. Micro‐electrodes filled with the fluorescent dye Procion yellow were used to record intracellularly from cells in area 17 of the cat. The visual receptive field of each neurone was classified as simple, complex, or hypercomplex, and the cell was then stained by the iontophoretic injection of dye.
