Artists frequently imply the shape and form of an object using an accurate natural-science style employing pen-and-ink. This style is useful because it allows for fast-interpretation of images, it can help focus the viewers attention on specific details and can provide extra information about the object(s). Given these positive properties, this style is important to simulate. This thesis presen...

A review of the 36 previously reported cases of FKS revealed that only eight (22%) of the cases satisfied Foster Kennedy's original hypothesis for the pathogenesis of his syndrome. 12 cases (33%) were probably caused by bilateral optic nerve compression. [8] The authors conclude that as more sophisticated imaging permits earlier and more precise diagnosis, future cases of FKS caused by a mass w...

Previous work demonstrates an essential role of subplate neurons during ocular dominance (OD) column formation in the developing visual cortex. While inhibitory circuitry has also been shown to play an essential role in OD plasticity, the relationship between subplate neurons and the development of inhibitory circuits has been unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Kanold and Shatz provide evidence ...
