Involvement of voltage-dependent calcium channels in synaptic plasticity of the rat visual cortex
In this study, involvement ofvoltage-dependent calcium channels in LTP of responses of rat visual cortex slices was analyzed. Field potentials including EPSP1 and EPSP2 from layers II/III were recorded through stimulation of layer IV. Whereas nifedipine, a L-type calcium channel blocker (L-VDCC), did not considerably affect the LTP of responses, but Ni2+, a relatively selective blocker of T-typ...
متن کاملChannels in the Visual Nervous System: Neurophysiology, Psychophysics and Models
Spatial vision research during the 1970s was dominated by the spatial frequency channel paradigm of Campbell and Robson (1968). This article summarizes some research and current views on spatial frequency channels. By channels, we mean an array of medium bandwidth mechanisms, similar to the simple cells that are commonly found in the visual system. The viewpoint presented here provides a useful...

متن کاملParallel input channels to mouse primary visual cortex.
It is generally accepted that in mammals visual information is sent to the brain along functionally specialized parallel pathways, but whether the mouse visual system uses similar processing strategies is not known. It is important to resolve this issue because the mouse brain provides a tractable system for developing a cellular and molecular understanding of disorders affecting spatiotemporal...
متن کاملVisual categorization and the primate prefrontal cortex: neurophysiology and behavior.
The ability to group stimuli into meaningful categories is a fundamental cognitive process. To explore its neuronal basis, we trained monkeys to categorize computer-generated stimuli as "cats" and "dogs." A morphing system was used to systematically vary stimulus shape and precisely define a category boundary. Psychophysical testing and analysis of eye movements suggest that the monkeys categor...
