Thalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملRapid extragranular plasticity in the absence of thalamocortical plasticity in the developing primary visual cortex.
Monocular deprivation during early postnatal development remodels the circuitry of the primary visual cortex so that most neurons respond poorly to stimuli presented to the deprived eye. This rapid physiological change is ultimately accompanied by a matching anatomical loss of input from the deprived eye. This remodeling is thought to be initiated at the thalamocortical synapse. Ocular dominanc...
متن کاملA Model of Recurrent Interactions in Primary Visual Cortex
A general feature of the cerebral cortex is its massive interconnectivity it has been estimated anatomically [15] that cortical neurons receive on the order of 10,000 synapses, the majority of which originate from other nearby cortical neurons. Numerous experiments in primary visual cortex (V1) have revealed strongly nonlinear interactions between stimulus elements, implying a signi cant physio...
متن کاملA recurrent model of contour integration in primary visual cortex.
Physiological and psychophysical studies have demonstrated the importance of colinearity in visual processing. Motivated by these empirical findings we present a novel computational model of recurrent long-range processing in the primary visual cortex. Unlike other models we restrict the long-range interaction to cells of parallel orientation with colinear aligned receptive fields. We also empl...
متن کاملShort-term depression in thalamocortical synapses of cat primary visual cortex.
Neurons in primary visual cortex exhibit several nonlinearities in their responses to visual stimuli, including response decrements to repeated stimuli, contrast-dependent phase advance, contrast saturation, and cross-orientation suppression. Thalamocortical synaptic depression has been implicated in these phenomena but has not been examined directly in visual cortex in vivo. We assessed depres...
