Colour through the thalamus.
Visual perception in humans and other primates depends on the retino-thalamo-cortical pathway. This pathway begins with retinal ganglion cells, which have axonal terminations in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Each ganglion cell axon provides input to one or more LGN relay neurones and, in turn, nearly all the LGN relay neurones project to the primary visual cortex. Thus, ...
متن کاملThe cognitive thalamus
The thalamus, once viewed as passively relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex, is becoming increasingly acknowledged as actively regulating the information transmitted to corti-cal areas. There are a number of reasons for this change. First, evidence suggests that first-order thalamic areas, like the lateral geniculate nucleus, ventral division of the medial geniculate nucleus, and...

Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 6558 (1987); C. A. Whitlock and 0. N. Witte, ibid. 79, 3608 (1982). 25. A series of 24 18-nucleotide primers with complete identity to the murine Btk cDNA sequence (GenBank L08967) were used to generate 380base pair overlapping products spanning the entire btk coding sequence. Full sequence information is available from the authors. 26. Filter lifts containing 5 x 105 plaq...
متن کاملVestibular Interactions in the Thalamus
It has long been known that the vast majority of all information en route to the cerebral cortex must first pass through the thalamus. The long held view that the thalamus serves as a simple hi fidelity relay station for sensory information to the cortex, however, has over recent years been dispelled. Indeed, multiple projections from the vestibular nuclei to thalamic nuclei (including the vent...
متن کاملThe Thalamus A New Proposal
Rarely in neuroscience does an idea come along that illuminates an entire field of work and promises to shape its future—this may have just happened for the thalamus and the way we view its relationship with the cerebral cortex. The mammalian thalamus is a paired structure comprising a relatively small group of neuronal nuclei that sits in roughly the center of the brain, on either side of the ...
