Receptive fields of single neurones in the cat's striate cortex
Hubel DH, Wiesel TN · Journal of Physiology, 1959
Hubel and Wiesel's landmark study revealed orientation-selective neurons in cat visual cortex, establishing the columnar organization of sensory cortex. Simple cells respond to oriented edges at specific positions; complex cells show position invariance. This work earned the 1981 Nobel Prize and launched modern systems neuroscience.
