Extended Data Figure 8: Transformation of dendrite and spine RFs.
From: Synaptic organization of visual space in primary visual cortex
Transformation of RFs of dendrites and their corresponding spines for pooling of all spine RFs in Fig. 3b, c. a, To combine the position and orientation of all spine RFs relative to dendritic RFs in a common coordinate framework, we rotated the dendritic RFs such that their orientation was vertical and then translated them such that their centres were aligned at the same position. The parameters of this transformation were then used to transform the RFs of all spines to maintain the spatial relationship of their RF to that of their parent dendrite. b, RFs of two example dendrites and two of their corresponding spines before (top) and after transformation (bottom) as described in a. The visual space was defined as co-axial (green) or orthogonal (purple) relative to the centre and orientation of the dendrite RF.
