Fig. 7. Comparison of temporal frequency (TF) tuning at two receptive field
locations of HSN cells showing sexually dimorphic contrast sensitivity and
temporal dynamics. Frontal receptive field (A,C,E) for HSN cells is defined as
0° azimuth and 60° elevation. Lateral receptive field (B,D,F) is
defined as 90° azimuth and 60° elevation. Responses were estimated for
Michelson contrasts 1.0 (A,B) and 0.2 (C,D) and the contrast sensitivity was
calculated for a criterion response of 2 mV (E,F). Estimated response and
contrast sensitivity were calculated from contrast ramp data (for details see
Materials and methods). Spatial frequency 0.1 cycles deg.-1. Values
are means ± s.e.m.; males, N=5 (filled squares), females,
N=6 (open circles).
