Diversity in spatial frequency, temporal frequency, and speed tuning across mouse visual cortical areas and layers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25404
Abstract: The mouse visual system consists of several visual cortical areas thought to be specialized for different visual features and/or tasks. Previous studies have revealed differences between primary visual cortex (V1) and other higher visual areas,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23740
Abstract: Visually stressful striped patterns with a spatial frequency (SF) of around 3 cycles per degree (cpd) can induce perceptual illusions/distortions and visual discomfort in most people, headaches in patients with migraine, and seizures in patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00417-017-3752-4
Abstract: BackgroundIt is known that diabetic patients have changes in cortical morphometry as compared to controls, but it remains to be clarified whether the visual cortex is a disease target, even when diabetes complications such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12264-019-00445-x
Abstract: In the visual pathway, optic nerve (ON) injury may cause secondary degeneration of neurons in distal regions, such as the visual cortex. However, the role of the neuroinflammatory response in regulating secondary impairment in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1802798115
Abstract: Significance Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) holds promise as a tool for noninvasively facilitating plastic changes in cortical networks. However, highly resolved visualization of its modulatory effects remains elusive because current neuroimaging techniques applicable in humans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09273972.2017.1418898
Abstract: ABSTRACT Purpose: Besides chiasmal hemidecussation, interhemispheric connections are likely important in human binocularity. The corpus callosum (CC) is the major fiber bundle in the mammalian brain which mostly connects homologous cortical areas in the two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1146/annurev-vision-111815-114525
Abstract: Electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex is a powerful tool for exploring cortical function. Stimulation of early visual cortical areas is easily detected by subjects and produces simple visual percepts known as phosphenes. A device… read more here.

Abstract: Enduring amblyopia after early imbalanced binocular input is a classic example of critical period biology across species. Recovery of visual acuity is typically poor in adulthood due to both the extensive loss of connections and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2021.637638
Abstract: Monocular deprivation (MD) of vision during early postnatal life induces amblyopia, and most neurons in the primary visual cortex lose their responses to the closed eye. Anatomically, the somata of neurons in the closed-eye recipient… read more here.
