Abstract
Optical imaging data show that the cat's visual cortex contains patche s of cells that respond to low spatial and high temporal frequencies; outside the patches, cells respond to high spatial and low temporal fr equencies. The results suggest a possible anatomical substrate for psy chophysically defined spatial frequency channels.
