An oblique effect in human primary visual cortex

Christopher S. Furmanski and Stephen A. Engel

Nat. Neurosci. 3, 535–536 (2000)

Due to a printing error, the legend for Figure 1 was incomplete. The corrected version from (d) appears below. We regret the error.

(d) Bars represent normalized sensitivity as a function of orientation. Measurements were made for both contrast detection and orientation discrimination using the same stimulus configuration and subjects described above. Thresholds were determined by fitting a Weibull function to the data from a spatial two-alternative, forced-choice task using a staircase procedure, and were then converted to sensitivity scores (1/threshold). 

Activity in primary visual cortex predicts performance in a visual detection task

David Rees, Benjamin T. Backus and David J. Heeger

Nat. Neurosci. 3, 940–945 (2000)

Due to a printing error, the graphs in two figures reproduced poorly. The corrected versions appear below. We regret the error.

Also, there was a typographical error in an equation on page 944, which should have read

 

Postnatal synaptic potentiation: Delivery of GluR4-containing AMPA receptors by spontaneous activity

J. Julius Zhu, José A. Esteban, Yasunori Hayashi and Roberto Malinow

Nat. Neurosci. 3, 1098–1106 (2000)

The affiliation for Yasunori Hayashi was not complete. It should be RIKEN-MIT Neuroscience Research Center, Center for Learning and Memory, Department of Brain and Cognitive Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. We regret the error. 

Population vectors and motor cortex: neural coding or epiphenomenona?

Stephen H. Scott

Nat. Neurosci. 3, 307–308 (2000)

On page 308, column 1, line 6 from the bottom, the sentence that reads “Specifically, squaring the discharge…” should instead have indicated that the square root of the discharge rate was calculated. The author regrets the error. 

Proto-mapping the areas of cerebral cortex: transcription factors make the grade

Edwin S. Monuki and Christopher A. Walsh

Nat. Neurosci. 3, 640–641 (2000)

Two sentences contained citation errors that unfortunately gave credit to the wrong article. On page 640, third column, first full paragraph, the sentence that begins “Posterior cortex is not entirely lost…and presumptive visual cortex9.” should instead read “… visual cortex10.” Similarly, on page 641, first column, second paragraph, the sentence that begins “In a fashion similar to the…mice9…” should instead read “…mice10…” The authors regret the error.
