Abstract

We present a method to determine, within a few seconds, the local preferred direction (LPD) and local motion sensitivity (LMS) in small
patches of the receptive fields of wide-held motion-sensitive neurons. This allows us to map, even during intracellular recordings, the distribution of LPD
and LMS over the huge receptive fields of neurons sensing self-motions of the animal. Comparisons of the response field of a given neuron with the optic
flow fields caused by different movements in space, allows us to specify the particular motion of the animal sensed by that neuron. Copyright (C) 1996
