Fig. 3: The V1 single units response to NCS stimuli is not due to inducer overlap with the RF.

a RF of an example non-overlapping unit. The color illustrates the magnitude of the unit response to the black rectangle during the RF mapping session. The black ellipse indicates the full width at half maximum of a 2-d Gaussian function fitted to the unit response. The intersection of 2 dashed white lines is at the center of the RF. The white concentric circles used in NCS stimuli are shown for comparison with the RF location of this unit. b Stimulus-evoked spike rasters and PSTHs of the example unit shown in (a). c The pie chart shows the percentage of non-overlapping units that responded to each stimulus type (n = 234 units). d The normalized population response magnitude across all 3 stimulus types for the non-overlapping units. Shading indicates standard deviation. e The distribution of differences in the preferred angle between responses to NCS and LDG stimuli (n = 104 units that responded to both stimulus types). f The circular distribution of the phase shift of the response evoked by the NCS stimulus relative to the LDG stimulus (n = 55 units with an F1 dominant component in the evoked response). The red arrow shows the angular mean (214.55°). The radial numbers indicate the number of units. N = 13 mice. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
