Quantitative histochemistry of the cerebral cortex.
For some years in this laboratory the principles and methods of quantitative histochemistry introduced by Linderstr#{216}m-Lang and loiter (7, 10) have been used for studies on the chemical pathology of the nervous system. A particular effort has been made to describe the biochemical architecture of rat and human cerebral cortex, primarily because of its intrinsic neurological importance and th...
متن کاملMapping striate and extrastriate visual areas in human cerebral cortex.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to identify and map the representation of the visual field in seven areas of human cerebral cortex and to identify at least two additional visually responsive regions. The cortical locations of neurons responding to stimulation along the vertical or horizontal visual field meridia were charted on three-dimensional models of the cortex and on...
متن کاملOrganization of Visual Areas in Macaque and Human Cerebral Cortex
Introduction. The mammalian visual system contains numerous visual areas that collectively occupy a large fraction of cerebral cortex. For cortical cartographers interested in vision, a fundamental set of objectives is to identify in key species of interest the overall extent of visual cortex, the total number of visual areas, the identities of these areas, and their location in relation to one...
متن کاملCircuit-based localization of ferret prefrontal cortex.
We examined the extent of the ferret prefrontal cortex (PFC) and its reciprocal connections with the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus (MD) by anterograde and retrograde labeling in 6- to 14-week-old male ferrets. Our results indicate that in the ferret, as in other species, MD projects heavily to the PFC although it also projects to other cortical and subcortical structures. The MD projectio...
متن کاملVisual areas in the lateral temporal cortex of the ferret (Mustela putorius).
Using systematic electrophysiological mapping, architectonics and the global pattern of interhemispheric connectivity, we have identified three visual areas in the lateral most part of the posterior suprasylvian gyrus. The most posterior and largest area we call area 20a and anterior to this we defined a smaller area, area 20b. These areas lie lateral to the visual areas 18, 19 and 21 and poste...
