"The electrical activity in the visual thalamus is coupled with the pupil dynamics over timeframes ranging from seconds to ...

A mouse study concludes color-detecting cones in the eye and a subset of neurons in the brain’s thalamus are why green light exposure has an analgesic effect. Mice have neurons that connect to both ...

The visual thalamus is a key brain region that connects the eyes with the cerebral cortex, which is important to our ability for reasoning, emotion, thought, memory, language and consciousness.

Scientists once speculated that most neurons likely received input from only one retina, but recent research has shown that a surprising number of neurons in the visual thalamus connect to both eyes. ...

It consists of the eye, retina, fibres that conduct visual information to the thalamus, the superior colliculus and parts of the cerebral cortex. Kubota et al. find that white matter connections ...

The striate cortex is the first cortical visual area that receives input from the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. The role of lateral inhibition for perception and neural computation ...
