Abstrakt: The spatial structure of the receptive field (RF) of a visually sensitive neuron, as a rule, predetermines the central processing of incoming visual information concerning moving visual images. Thus, the properties of visually driven neurons as in the cortical, as well as in subcortical levels of the brain are chiefly determined by spatial constrains of the neuron RF. The results of presented experiments have shown that the spatial parameters of visually sensitive neuron RFs in subcortical dorsal hippocampal region are dynamic and undergo substantial expansions of dimensions at the appliance of a moving visual stimulus. Thus, it is evident that central processing of visual information is realized by integrated activity of a complex of the corresponding cortical networks of visually sensitive neurons.
