Perceptual decision related activity in the lateral geniculate nucleus.
Fundamental to neuroscience is the understanding of how the language of neurons relates to behavior. In the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), cells show distinct properties such as selectivity for particular wavelengths, increments or decrements in contrast, or preference for fine detail versus rapid motion. No studies, however, have measured how LGN cells respond when an animal is challenged t...

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 کاملThe multifunctional lateral geniculate nucleus.
Providing the critical link between the retina and visual cortex, the well-studied lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) has stood out as a structure in search of a function exceeding the mundane 'relay'. For many mammals, it is structurally impressive: Exquisite lamination, sophisticated microcircuits, and blending of multiple inputs suggest some fundamental transform. This impression is bolstered ...
متن کاملLearning-related neuronal activity in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus during associative cerebellar learning.
During delay eyeblink conditioning, rats learn to produce an eyelid-closure conditioned response (CR) to a conditioned stimulus (CS), such as a light, which precedes and coterminates with an unconditioned stimulus (US). Previous studies have suggested that the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNv) might play an important role in visual eyeblink conditioning by supplying visual sensory input...
