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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
