Abstract

야간 시각은 민감도를 극대화하고 주간 시각은 세감도를 극대화한다. 민감도와 세감도는 시각 기능의 두 목표이지만 상쇄적인 작용때문에 균형적인 선택이 요구된다. 민감도와 세감도를 결정하는 중요한 요인으로는 광학적인 요인과 신경학적인 요인이 있다. 망막의 지역적 분화는 바로 이러한 민감도-세감도 문제에서 기인하는데 망막의 2차원적인 제약이 시각신경계의 병행적인 경로와 이에 기초한 적응적 진화를 통해서 어느 정도 해소되는 듯이 보인다. 이 글은 야행-주행 습성을 동시에 갖추어 민감도와 세감도의 균형 문제가 각별히 부각되는 고양이의 초기 시각신경계에서 민감도와 세감도의 균형을 최적화하는 신경 기전을 소개한 것이다.
