Visual responses in the lateral geniculate evoked by Cx36-independent rod pathways
Emerging evidence indicates rods can communicate with retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) via pathways that do not involve gap-junctions. Here we investigated the significance of such pathways for central visual responses, using mice lacking a key gap junction protein (Cx36(-/-)) and carrying a mutation that disrupts cone phototransduction (Gnat2(cpfl3)). Electrophysiological recordings spanning the ...
متن کاملBinocular Visual Responses in the Primate Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) in carnivores and primates is a laminated structure, where each layer gets visual input from only one eye [1, 2]. By contrast, in rodents such as mice and rats, the dLGN is not overtly laminated, the retinal terminals from the two eyes are only partially segregated [3, 4], and many cells in the binocular segment of dLGN get excitatory inputs from bot...
متن کاملLateral Geniculate Body Evoked Potentials Elicited by Visual and Electrical Stimulation
PURPOSE Blind individuals who have photoreceptor loss are known to perceive phosphenes with electrical stimulation of their remaining retinal ganglion cells. We proposed that implantable lateral geniculate body (LGB) stimulus electrode arrays could be used to generate phosphene vision. We attempted to refine the basic reference of the electrical evoked potentials (EEPs) elicited by microelectri...
متن کاملSynchronization of visual responses between the cortex, lateral geniculate nucleus, and retina in the anesthetized cat.
Synchronization of spatially distributed responses in the cortex is often associated with periodic activity. Recently, synchronous oscillatory patterning was described for visual responses in retinal ganglion cells that is reliably transmitted by the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), raising the question of whether oscillatory inputs contribute to synchronous oscillatory responses in the cortex...
متن کاملVisual responses in the lateral geniculate nucleus of dichromatic and trichromatic marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
New-world primates such as the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) show polymorphism for the middle- to long-wavelength sensitive cone pigments. Each X-chromosome carries a gene for only one of three possible pigments. All males are thus dichromats, but some females will be trichromats. We have investigated the responses of cells of the parvocellular (PC) and magnocellular (MC) systems within animals...
