Zusammenfassung

Einzelne Zellen in der Region des superior colliculus des BeuteltieresDidelphis virginiana können von der linken oder auch rechten Retina stimuliert werden. Diese Zellen verfügen über eine gut entwickelte intermodale Reaktionsfähigkeit, Selektivität gegenüber gerichteter Bewegung und rasche Gewohnheitsbildung. Zellpopulationen derselben Region repräsentieren eine grosse Anzahl von «receptive field»-Geometrien.
