A biologically plausible neural network model of the primate primary visual system

摘要

A large-scale computational model of the primate primary visual system was constructed using GENESIS. The model consists of ～10000 biologically plausible neurons organized into six arrays, which represent sectors of two retinas, two laminae of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and two laminae of the visual cortex. The physiological and architectural properties of the model were derived from experimental data for the mammalian primary visual pathway. Neurons have shown ocular and orientation selectivity dependent responses in good agreement with data.
