Abstract
Single cells were recorded in area 19 of 8 Siamese cats. Receptive fields (RFs) were typical for this area in terms of size, directional specificity and type. However, 69 out of the 70 units found were monocularly driven through the contralateral eye. Moreover, the amount of excursion of RFs into the ipsilateral visual field was more limited than that generally demonstrated for areas 17 and 18, extending to a maximum of 5 degrees with very few cells having RFs situated completely within the ipsilateral hemifield.
