Reductions in gray matter volume of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), especially the
rostral and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (rACC, sgACC) are a widely reported finding …

The existence of cortical columns, regarded as computational units underlying both lower
and higher-order information processing, has long been associated with highly evolved …

The paper presents a concept of lifelong plasticity of peripheral vision. Central vision
processing is accepted as critical and irreplaceable for normal perception in humans. While …

Development of orientation maps in ferret and cat primary visual cortex (V1) has been
shown to be stable, in that the earliest measurable maps are similar in form to the eventual …

In the cat or primate primary visual cortex (V1), normal vision corresponds to a state where
neural excitation patterns are driven by external visual stimuli. A spectacular failure mode of …

Constructing a functioning nervous system requires the precise orchestration of a vast array
of mechanical, molecular and neural-activity-dependent cues. Theoretical models can play a …

To date, no studies have examined the ontogeny of susceptibility to visual illusions in
nonhuman mammals. Our previous study on the perception of the Delboeuf illusion by adult …

Background The primary visual cortex of many mammals contains a continuous
representation of visual space, with a roughly repetitive aperiodic map of orientation …

It has been argued that the emergence of roughly periodic orientation preference maps
(OPMs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of carnivores and primates can be explained by a …

Ocular dominance (OD) columns, alternating regions of left and right eye input in the visual
cortex of higher mammals, have long been thought to develop from an initially intermingled …
