Several challenges to current views of thalamocortical processing are offered here.
Glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex are divided into two distinct classes: driver …

The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

The signaling mechanisms that control the survival of CNS neurons are poorly understood.
Here we show that, in contrast to PNS neurons, the survival of purified postnatal rat retinal …

Interest in structural brain connectivity has grown with the understanding that abnormal
neural connections may play a role in neurologic and psychiatric diseases. Small animal …

Univocal identification of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is an essential prerequisite for
studying their degeneration and neuroprotection. Before the advent of phenotypic markers …

Horseradish peroxidase was deposited in the optic nerve to retrogradely label and reveal
the dendritic form of all classes of ganglion cell, or it was injected into the dorsal lateral …

An early hallmark of neuronal degeneration is distal transport loss and axon pathology.
Glaucoma involves the degeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) neurons and their axons …

The mammalian retina conveys the vast majority of information about visual stimuli to two
brain regions: the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and the superior colliculus (SC) …

Two different monoclonal antibodies to the Thy-l antigen, TllD7 and 2Gl2, were used to
purify and characterize retinal ganglion cells from postnatal rat retina. Although Thy-l has …

Horseradish peroxidase was injected into the superior colliculus or pretectum or both in
order to label, by retrograde axoplasmic transport, the retinal ganglion whose cells axons …
