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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The visual pathway from retina through the lateral geniculate nucleus to visual cortex in the cat is comprised of several parallel neuronal ...

SINCE their discovery 1–4, the effects of midbrain stimulation on excitability of the visual system have been studied extensively. Work on the squirrel monkey 5,6 has shown that the centrencephalic ...

The brain's ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) receives signals from the eye, but it is not associated with classical image-forming. For decades little was known about this brain region's ...

Seven unique wavelength responses, two inhibitory and five excitatory, with sensitivity maxima from 435 to 635 millimicrons, have been recorded from light-adapted, non-albino rabbits. Several ...

Eye-specific differences in presynaptic release site addition and clustering correlate with axonal segregation outcomes during retinogeniculate refinement in the mouse.

London, UK – 5 October 2021 – Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre have discovered a brain mechanism that enables mice to override their instincts based on previous experience. The study, ...
