The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus is the major subcortical relay of retinal input to the visual cortex. It plays important roles in visual perception and cognition and is closely ...

SINCE their discovery 1–4, the effects of midbrain stimulation on excitability of the visual system have been studied extensively. Work on the squirrel monkey 5,6 has shown that the centrencephalic ...

A PROMINENT feature of synaptic transmission through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the cat 1–3 and in the rat 4 is the large and prolonged depression of transmission which occurs following a ...

Researchers in China have developed a neuromorphic chip inspired by the brain’s lateral geniculate nucleus to enable real-time robotic vision.

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre have discovered a brain mechanism that enables mice to override their instincts based on previous experience. The study, published today in Neuron, ...

This image shows the localization of the human lateral geniculate nucleus, using high-resolution functional MRI (orange) and anatomical MRI (green). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Researchers from Beihang University and the Beijing Institute of Technology in China developed a brain-inspired chip which enables robots to detect and react to movement at four times the speed ...
