The lateral geniculate nucleus is the best understood thalamic relay and serves as a model
for all thalamic relays. Only 5–10% of the input to geniculate relay cells derives from the …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) component is an event-related potential (ERP) that can be
elicited by any change in the acoustic environment, and it is related to memory-based …

Cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the β-and γ-secretases generates the
amino and carboxy termini, respectively, of the Aβ amyloidogenic peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42 …

The need to integrate massively increasing amounts of data on the mammalian brain has
driven several ambitious neuroscientific database projects that were started during the last …

The visual pulvinar is part of the dorsal thalamus, and in primates it is especially well
developed. Recently, our understanding of how the visual pulvinar is subdivided into nuclei …

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual system that is associated with
disrupted binocular vision during early childhood. There is evidence that the effects of …

Glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex are divided into two distinct classes: driver,
which carries the main information between cells, and modulator, which modifies how driver …

The thalamus has traditionally been thought to passively relay sensory information to the
cortex. By showing that responses in visual thalamus are modulated by perceptual and …

Visual motion processing is compromised in a substantial proportion of schizophrenic
patients, but precise neural mechanisms underlying the motion-processing deficit have not …
