Neurometabolic coupling in the lateral geniculate nucleus changes with extended age.
Attempts have been made in various studies to identify and trace changes in function in the aging visual system. Some results are conflicting and we report here a unique approach in an attempt to resolve selected issues. We have estimated neurometabolic coupling in the central visual pathway in young and old cats. Our technique provides high resolution simultaneous measurements of neuronal acti...

متن کاملHigh-resolution neurometabolic coupling in the lateral geniculate nucleus.
The relationships between neural and metabolic processes in activated brain regions are central to the interpretation of noninvasive imaging. To examine this relationship, we have used a specialized sensor to measure simultaneously tissue oxygen changes and neural activity in colocalized regions of the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Previous work with this sensor has shown that a decre...
متن کاملThe lateral geniculate nucleus
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is a huge embarrassment to visual neuroscientists. Virtually all the visual information that leaves the retina to be analysed in the visual cortex is relayed through synapses in this nucleus. It is a dogma of neurophysiology that the cost imposed by putting a synapse in any pathway must be repaid by some benefit in terms of processing. Unfortunately it is no...
متن کاملQuantitative age-related changes in NADPH-diaphorase-positive neurons in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus.
Age-related changes in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) were examined in the rat ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) using histochemical methods. Eighteen rats aged 3, 24, and 26 months were studied using quantitative methods to investigate the number of neurons per mm(2), the cross-sectional area, and the orientation of dendritic processes of NADPH-d-posit...
