Early mammals were small and nocturnal. Their visual systems had regressed and they had
poor vision. After the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 mya, some but not all escaped the …

Current evidence supports the view that the visual pulvinar of primates consists of at least
five nuclei, with two large nuclei, lateral pulvinar ventrolateral (PLvl) and central lateral …

Human neocortex evolved in a series of ancestors with less neocortex and fewer cortical
areas. Thus, early mammals had little neocortex and roughly 20 cortical areas, while early …

Background Tissue clearing is currently revolutionizing neuroanatomy by enabling organ-
level imaging with cellular resolution. However, currently available tools for data analysis …

To combat retinal degeneration, healthy fetal retinal sheets have been successfully
transplanted into both rodent models and humans, with synaptic connectivity between …

Over the last 10 years, there has been a surge in interest in the rodent visual system
resulting from the discovery of visual processing functions shared with primates V1, and of a …

The basal forebrain provides cholinergic inputs to primary visual cortex (V1) that play a key
modulatory role on visual function. While basal forebrain afferents terminate in the …

Functions of the cerebral cortex emerge via interactions of horizontally distributed neuronal
populations within and across areas. However, the connectional underpinning of these …

The superior colliculus is an important midbrain structure involved with integrating
information from varying sensory modalities and sending motor signals to produce orienting …

Emberben illetve főemlősökben leginkább a kezet, azon belül is az ujjbegyeket tekintjük a
