 note = {Object images on the retina can be described as combination of contours and surfaces surrounded by them.  Neuronal activity in the early visual cortex has been extensively studied from the standpoint of contour representation.  On the other hand, representation of the interior of a surface surrounded by a contour is much less well understood.  Several studies have identified neurons activated by a uniform surface covering their receptive fields, but their distribution within the cortex is not yet known.  The aim of the present study was to obtain a better understanding of the distribution of such neurons in the visual cortex.  Using optical imaging of intrinsic signals, they found that there are a group of surface-responsive regions located in area 18, along the area 17/18 border, that tend to overlap with the singular points of the orientation-preference map.  Extracellular recordings confirmed that neurons responsive to uniform plane stimuli are accumulated in these regions.  Such neurons also existed outside the surface-responsive regions around the singular points.  These results suggest that there exists a functional organization related to the representation of a uniform surface in the early visual cortex., 総研大甲第695号},
