Three distinct gamma oscillatory networks within cortical columns in macaque monkeys’ area V1 by Eric Drebitz, Lukas-Paul Rausch, Esperanza Domingo Gil, Andreas K. Kreiter

“…Other features, like the different patterns of input and output connections of neurons located in separate layers and systematic differences in feature tuning, hint at a more segregated and possibly flexible functional organization of neurons within a column.MethodsTo distinguish between these views of columnar processing, we conducted laminar recordings in macaques’ area V1 while they performed a demanding attention task. …”
