Cortical layer-4 cells {stellate cell} can detect bars, slits, and edges, in static pictures, at 20 orientations. Stellate cells have small receptive fields and low spontaneous activity. Smaller stellate cells excite easier. Cerebellum stellate cells receive excitation from parallel fibers and laterally inhibit adjacent-column Purkinje cells.
