The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus is the major subcortical relay of retinal input to the visual cortex. It plays important roles in visual perception and cognition and is closely ...
Experience-dependent plasticity in the mature visual system is widely considered to be cortical. Using chronic two-photon Ca 2+ imaging of thalamic afferents in layer 1 of binocular visual cortex, we ...
A PROMINENT feature of synaptic transmission through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the cat 1–3 and in the rat 4 is the large and prolonged depression of transmission which occurs following a ...
Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre have discovered a brain mechanism that enables mice to override their instincts based on previous experience. The study, published today in Neuron, ...
This image shows the localization of the human lateral geniculate nucleus, using high-resolution functional MRI (orange) and anatomical MRI (green). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
