What are Maps I
Intuitive Definition: Maps are a (scaled) depiction of a certain area.Location (x,y) is directly mapped to a piece of paper. Additional information such as topographical, geographical, political can be added as colors or symbols.

What are Maps I
Intuitive Definition: Maps are a (scaled) depiction of a certain area.Location (x,y) is directly mapped to a piece of paper. Additional information such as topographical, geographical, political can be added as colors or symbols.
Important: A map is alwaysa reduction in complexity.It is a REDUCED pictureof reality that containsIMPORTANT aspects of it.
What is important? That isin the eye of the beholder...

What are Maps II
Mathematical Definition: Let W be a set, U a subset of W and A metric space (distances are defined). Then we call f a map if it isa one-to-one mapping from U to A.
f: U -> A
Example: The surface of the world (W) is a 2D structure embeddedin 3D space. It can be mapped to a 2Deuclidean space.
In a mathematical sense a map is an equivalent representation of a complexstructure (W) in a metric space (A),i.e. it is not a reduction – the entire information is preserved.

Cortical Maps
Cortical Maps map the environment onto the brain. This includessensory input as well as motor and mental activity.
Example: Map of sensory and motor representations of the body (homunculus).The more important a region, the bigger its map representation.
Scaled “remapping” to real space

What are place cells?
• Place cells are the principal neurons found in a special area of the mammal brain, the hippocampus.
• They fire strongly when an animal (a rat) is in a specific location of an environment.
• Place cells were first described in 1971 by O'Keefe and Dostrovsky during experiments with rats.
• View sensitive cells have been found in monkeys (Araujo et al, 2001) and humans (Ekstrom et al, 2003) that may be related to the place cells of rats.

How do place cells develop?
Allothetic (external) sensory input Visual Olfactory (around 1000 receptors in rat, whereas
humans have 350) Somatosensory (via whiskers) Auditory (rat range 200Hz-90KHz, human range
16Hz-20KHz)
Idiothetic (internal) sensory input Self motion (path integration, mostly used then
allothetic information is not available) Not so reliable by itself since no feedback

Experiment: Environment with landmark (marked area) => record activity from cell 1 and 2
Observation: Place fields develop

Importance of visual cues
Knierim, 1995
Experiment: Environment with landmark (marked area) => record activity from cell 1 and 2
Observation: Place fields develop
Step 2: Rotate landmark => place fields rotate respectively
Conclusion: Visual cues are used for formation of place fields

Place Cell Remapping
Wills et al, 2005, Science
Brown plastic square box and white wooden circle box was used to show place cell remapping phenomena:• Cells 1-5 show increasing divergence between the square and circle box;• Cells 6-10 show differentiation from the beginning;• Some cells chow common representation or do not remap at all (not shown).

Importance of olfactory cues
Save, 2000
Dark/Cleaning
Light/Cleaning
Fact: Rats use their urine to mark environment
Experiment: Two sets, one in light and one in darkness; remove self-induced olfactory cues and landmarks (S2-S4)
Result: Without olfactory cues stable place fields (control S1) change or in darkness even deteriorate. When olfactory cues are allowed again (control S5), place fields reemerge.

Place fields
A) Visual input => unique round place fields, because the distances to the walls are unique (no multipeaks)
B) Olfactory input => place fields not round, because input is complex (gradients not well structured)
C) Combined input is a mixture of both

Concentric Circles Vertical Lines(expon. Spaced) (equally spaced)
Radial Lines Horizontal Lines(equal angular spacing) (equally spaced)
On „Invariance“A major problem is how the brain can recognize object in spite of size and rotation changes!
Scaling and Rotation defined in Polar Coordinates:
a = r exp(if)
Scaling
Rotation
A = k r exp(if) = k a
A = exp(i ) g r exp(if) = r exp(i[ + ]f g ) = a exp(ig)
Rotation angle
Scaling constant
After log Z transform we get:
Scaling: log(ka) = log(k) + log(a)
Rotation: log(a exp(ig)) = ig + log(a)
Thus we have obtained scale and
rotation invariance !

Prestriate visual cortical area or V2 gets strong feedforward connection from V1, but also strongly projects back to V1 (feedback)
Extrastriate visual cortical areas V3 – V5. More complex representation of visual stimulus with feedback from other cortical areas (eg. attention).

Receptive fields
Simple cells react to an illuminated bar in their RF, but they are sensitive to its orientation (see classical results of Hubel and Wiesel, 1959).
Bars of different length are presented with the RF of a simple cell for a certain time (black bar on top). The cell's response is sensitive to the orientation of the bar.
Cells in the visual cortex have receptive fields (RF). These cells react when a stimulus is presented to a certain area on the retina, i.e. the RF.

On-Off responses
Experiment: A light bar is flashed within the RF of a simple cell in V1 that is recorded from.
Observation: Depending on the position of the bar within the RF the cell responds strongly (ON response) or not at all (OFF response).

On-Off responses
Experiment: A light bar is flashed within the RF of a simple cell in V1 that is recorded from.
Observation: Depending on the position of the bar within the RF the cell responds strongly (ON response) or not at all (OFF response).
Explanation: Simple cell RF emerges from the overlap of several LGN cells with center surround RF.

Ocular Dominance Columns
The signals from the left and the right eye remain separated in the LGN. From there they are projected to the primary visual cortex where the cells can either be dominated by one eye (ocular dominance L/R) or have equal input (binocular cells).

Graphical Models
Preferred orientations are identical to the tangents of the circles/lines. Both depicted models are equivalent.
Vortex: All possible directions meet at one point, the vortex.
Problem: In these models vortices are of order 1, i.e. all directions meet in one point, but 0° and 180° are indistinguishable.

Graphical Models cont'd
In this model all vertices are of order 1/2, or more precise -1/2 (d-blob) and +1/2 (l-blob). Positive values mean that the preferred orientation changes in the same way as the path around the vertex and negative values mean that they change in the opposite way.

Developmental Models
Start from an equal orientation distribution and develop a map by ways of a developmental algorithm.
Are therefore related to learning and self-organization methods.
