摘要
The activity of neurons in inferior temporal cortex of behaving monkeys was studied under the following conditions: (1) in untrained animals as they spontaneously fixated visual stimuli, (2) in an animal with immobilization of one eye after section of the oculomotor nerves, (3) during performance of a visual discrimination task and (4) during performance of a visual recent memory task. When stimulated through the immobilized eye, the properties of inferior temporal were similar to those seen under anesthesia and total immobilization. Under the other conditions, the response properties of inferior temporal neurons appeared to be modulated by attentional and situational variables. © 1979.
