Subpopulations of neurons in visual area V2 perform differentiation and integration operations in space and time

Subpopulations of neurons in visual area V2 perform differentiation and integration operations in space and time

The interconnected areas of the visual system work together to find object boundaries in visual scenes. Primary visual cortex (V1) mainly extracts oriented luminance boundaries, while secondary visual cortex (V2) also detects boundaries defined by differences in texture. How the outputs of V1 neuron...
