Neuroscience: The Cortical Layering of Visual Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Visual perception depends on integration of the eyes' raw sensory input with information distributed across distinct regions of the brain. Recordings of neuronal activity in monkeys reveal that these two types of signal reach visual cortex in spatially distinct layers.

Cortical Activity During Postural Recovery in Response to Predictable and Unpredictable Perturbations in Healthy Young and Older Adults: A Quantitative EEG Assessment
Introduction: To investigate the effects of predictable and unpredictable external perturbations on cortical activity in healthy young and older adults. Methods: Twenty healthy older and 19 healthy young adults were exposed to predictable and unpredictable external perturbations, and their cortical activity upon postural recovery was measured using a 32-channel quantitative encephalography. Th...
متن کاملCullin 5 regulates cortical layering by modulating the speed and duration of Dab1-dependent neuronal migration.
The multilayered mammalian neocortex develops by the coordinated immigration and differentiation of cells that are produced at distant sites. Correct layering requires an extracellular protein, Reelin (Reln), an intracellular signaling molecule, Disabled-1 (Dab1), and an E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cullin-5 (Cul5). Reln activates Dab1, which is then degraded by Cul5. Here we test whether Cul5 regulate...

متن کاملdisabled-1 functions cell autonomously during radial migration and cortical layering of pyramidal neurons.
Genetic mosaics offer an excellent opportunity to analyze complex gene functions. Chimeras consisting of mutant and wild-type cells provide not only the avenue for lineage-specific gene rescue but can also distinguish cell-autonomous from non-cell-autonomous gene functions. Using an independent genetic marker for wild-type cells, we constructed Dab1(+/+) <--> Dab1(-/-) chimeras with the aim of ...
متن کاملCytochrome-oxidase blobs in cat primary visual cortex.
Cytochrome-oxidase blobs are central to two of the most influential ideas in contemporary visual neuroscience--cortical modularity and parallel processing pathways. In particular, the regular 2D array of cytochrome-oxidase-rich blobs in primate visual cortex is arguably the most compelling evidence for cortical modularity and has been hypothesized to mark a separate processing stream through th...
