A simpler primate brain: the visual system of the marmoset monkey
Humans are diurnal primates with high visual acuity at the center of gaze. Although primates
share many similarities in the organization of their visual centers with other mammals, and …

The suppressive field of neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus
The responses of neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) exhibit powerful suppressive
phenomena such as contrast saturation, size tuning, and masking. These phenomena …

Adaptation to stimulus contrast and correlations during natural visual stimulation
In this study, we characterize the adaptation of neurons in the cat lateral geniculate nucleus
to changes in stimulus contrast and correlations. By comparing responses to high-and low …

Spatial vision in older adults: perceptual changes and neural bases
Purpose The number of older adults is rapidly increasing internationally, leading to a
significant increase in research on how healthy ageing impacts vision. Most clinical …

Temporal properties of the polarity advantage effect in crowding
If the target in a crowding display differs from the distracters in its contrast polarity, the extent
of crowding is reduced compared to the condition where all the elements in the display have …

Specificity of M and L cone inputs to receptive fields in the parvocellular pathway: random wiring with functional bias
Many of the parvocellular pathway (PC) cells in primates show red–green spectral selectivity
(cone opponency), but PC ganglion cells in the retina show no anatomical signs of cone …

Visual contextual effects of orientation, contrast, flicker, and luminance: all are affected by normal aging
The perception of a visual stimulus can be markedly altered by spatial interactions between
the stimulus and its surround. For example, a grating stimulus appears lower in contrast …

Eye movements and the neural basis of context effects on visual sensitivity
The effects of context on visual sensitivity are well established (eg, sensitivity to luminance
flicker is substantially higher on mean-gray surrounds than on white or black surrounds) …

Spatial receptive field properties of lateral geniculate cells in the owl monkey (Aotus azarae) at different contrasts: a comparative study
Several physiological properties of owl monkey lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) cells were
studied to verify whether its nocturnal habit has an influence on the organization of its …

The lateral geniculate nucleus
The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is a part of the thalamus. Most sensory input to
the thalamus is relayed to the neocortex. In comparison with non-mammalian vertebrates …
