Abstract: In the cat visual cortex, orientation-selective neurons are arranged in characteristic patterns known as 'pinwheels'. In vivo, two-photon calcium imaging reveals the highly ordered arrangement at the level of single cells for this functional architecture — neurons selective to different orientations are strictly segregated, even at pinwheel centres.
