A variety of neurotrophic factors have been used in attempts to improve morphological and
behavioural outcomes after experimental spinal cord injury (SCI). Here we review many of …

Visual information is encoded in distinct retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types in the eye tuned to
specific features of the visual space. These streams of information project to the visual …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) receives visual information from the retina and
transmits it to the cortex. In this study, we made extracellular recordings in the dLGN of both …

Experience-dependent plasticity in the mature visual system is widely considered to be
cortical. Using chronic two-photon Ca2+ imaging of thalamic afferents in layer 1 of binocular …

Numerous well-defined classes of retinal ganglion cells innervate the thalamus to guide
image-forming vision, yet the rules governing their convergence and divergence remain …

Precise connectivity between retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and thalamocortical (TC) relay
neurons is thought to be essential for the transmission of visual information. Consistent with …

Segregation of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons by type and eye of origin is considered a
hallmark of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) structure. However, recent anatomical …

The brain is continuously modified by perceptual experience throughout life. Perceptual
learning, which refers to the long-term performance improvement resulting from practice, has …

Twice a day, at dawn and dusk, we experience gradual but very high amplitude changes in
background light intensity (irradiance). Although we perceive the associated change in …

Experience-dependent plasticity in the visual system is traditionally thought to be exclusively
cortical whereas the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) is classically considered to …
