Further to this, we suggest that the power function for a given cell could change depending on the contrast of the stimulus. This model produces spiking outputs at high contrasts that resemble complex cells (p= 2), while at low contrast the output exhibits a clearly dominant F1 component (p= 5). The models in Fig. 8A and B can adequately explain the data in Fig. 5A in which responses at low contrast resemble those of a simple cell. However, these models cannot explain the finding that some cells exhibit small responses that are out-of-phase with the dominant oscillatory response (e.g. Fig. 5B). The conspicuous out-of-phase responses, as seen in Fig. 5B, are suggestive of input from multiple subunits. Such a model, based on the hierarchical model of complex cell processing http://www.selleckchem.com/products/GDC-0941.html first proposed by Hubel and Wiesel, is illustrated in Fig. 8C. The outputs of two simple cells with complementary receptive fields are combined, producing a spiking output in response to a moving grating that is clearly complex-like. In our model, the contrast sensitivities of the two simple cells are different. One cell is less responsive at low contrast because it has a contrast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diglyceride response function that is shifted to the right relative to the other simple cell. When stimulated at low contrast, the combined responses of the two simple cells are dominated by just one of the simple cells. The consequence of this differential response gain is that the response to the low contrast stimulus has a large F1 component but also exhibits a smaller out-of-phase response as seen in Fig. 5B. In Fig. 5B the F2/F0 ratio for the low contrast response was 1.3. The conspicuous F2 component is not expected from a linear simple cell, which would be predicted to have a much lower F2/F0 ratio of 0.66. This latter observation suggests input from more than one simple cell. Tolhurst & Dean (1990) showed that the F1/F0 ratios of simple cells remained well http://www.selleckchem.com/products/AZD0530.html above unity at all contrasts, usually showing little contrast dependence. In some cases F1/F0 ratios increased at very low contrasts (
