Summary: To determine whether post-natal improvements in form vision result from changes in mid-level visual cortex, we studied neuronal and behavioral responses to texture stimuli that were matched in local spectral content but varied in “naturalistic” structure. We made longitudinal measurements of visual behavior from 16 to 95 weeks of age, and of neural responses from 20 to 56 weeks. We also measured behavioral and neural responses in near-adult animals more than 3 years old. Behavioral sensitivity reached half-maximum around 25 weeks of age, but neural sensitivities remained stable through all ages tested. Neural sensitivity to naturalistic structure was highest in V4, lower in V2 and inferotemporal cortex (IT), and barely discernible in V1. Our results show a dissociation between stable neural performance and improving behavioral performance, which may reflect improved processing capacity in circuits downstream of visual cortex. |
