1. Centros subcorticais dos sistemas visual primário e óptico acessório no mocó (kerodon rupestris): caracterização pela projeção retiniana e citoarquitetura.
The primary and accessory optic systems comprise two set of retinorecipient neural clusters. In this study, these visual related centers in the rock cavy were evaluated by using the retinal innervations pattern and Nissl staining cytoarchigtecture. After unilateral intraocular injection of cholera toxin B subunit and immunohistochemical reaction of coronal a

2. A Zona Incerta no sagüi (Callithrix jacchus): Análise Citoarquitetônica, Neuroquímica e Projeção Retiniana
The retinal projections in mammals usually reach, classically, three major functional systems: the primary visual system, the accessory optic system, and the circadian timing system. But the retinal projections also reach areas classically considered non-visual, one of which groups the neurons of the zona incerta (ZI), target this study. The primary visual s

3. Centros rombencefálicos de processamento auditivo do sagui (Callithrix jacchus): uma análise citoarquitetônica e neuroquímica
The auditory system is composed by a set of relays from the outer ear to the cerebral cortex. In mammals, the central auditory system is composed by cochlear nuclei, superior olivary complex, inferior colliculus and medial geniculate body. In this study, the auditory rombencephalic centers, the cochlear nuclear complex and the superior olivary complex were e

4. An egalitarian network model for the emergence of simple and complex cells in visual cortex
We explain how simple and complex cells arise in a large-scale neuronal network model of the primary visual cortex of the macaque. Our model consists of ≈4,000 integrate-and-fire, conductance-based point neurons, representing the cells in a small, 1-mm2 patch of an input layer of the primary visual cortex. In the model the local connections are isotropic a

5. Evolution of GABAergic circuitry in the mammalian medial geniculate body.
Many features in the mammalian sensory thalamus, such as the types of neurons, their connections, or their neurotransmitters, are conserved in evolution. We found a wide range in the proportion of gamma-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) neurons in the medial geniculate body, from <1% (bat and rat) to 25% or more (cat and monkey). In the bat, some medial gen

6. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors contribute to excitatory postsynaptic potentials of cat lateral geniculate neurons recorded in thalamic slices.
Neurons of the cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus were recorded intracellularly to study the contribution of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors to excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and low-threshold calcium spikes. EPSPs were evoked by stimulation of retinogeniculate axons in the optic tract and/or corticogeniculate axons in the optic radiat

7. Early discordant binocular vision disrupts signal transfer in the lateral geniculate nucleus.
The mammalian lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is known to regulate signal transfer from the retina to the brain neocortex in a highly complex manner. Besides inputs from the brainstem, extraretinal inputs via corticogeniculate projections and local inhibitory neurons modulate signal transfer in the LGN. However, very little is known about whether the postna

8. Relative numbers of cortical and brainstem inputs to the lateral geniculate nucleus
Terminals of a morphological type known as RD (for round vesicles and dense mitochondria, which we define here as the aggregate of types formerly known as RSD and RLD, where “S” is small and “L” is large) constitute at least half of the synaptic inputs to the feline lateral geniculate nucleus, which represents the thalamic relay of retinal input to c

9. A comparison of visual responses of cat lateral geniculate nucleus neurones with those of ganglion cells afferent to them.
We compared visual responses of cat lateral geniculate nucleus (l.g.n.) neurones with those of retinal ganglion cells providing their afferent inputs. Quantitative studies were made on twenty such pairs; eight X on-centre, seven Y on-centre, two X off-centre and three Y off-centre pairs. Receptive field centre locations of cell pairs with correlated activiti

10. Thalamic inputs to cytochrome oxidase-rich regions in monkey visual cortex.
In primate primary visual cortex, staining for cytochrome oxidase reveals a regular array of blob-like structures, most prominent in layers II and III but also present in layers V and VI. In an attempt to learn more about the input to these blobs, we injected the lateral geniculate bodies of macaques and squirrel monkeys with [3H]proline or horseradish perox

11. Distinctive compartmental organization of human primary visual cortex
In the primary visual area of macaques and other monkeys, layer 4A is a mosaic of separate tissue compartments related to the parvocellular (P) and magnocellular (M) layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus. This mosaic resembles a honeycomb, with thin walls that receive direct P inputs and cores consisting of columns of dendrites and cell bodies ascending f

12. Isolation of components due to intracortical processing in the visual evoked potential.
A class of stochastic visual textures are used to analyze the components of the visual evoked potential (VEP). This procedure exploits the differential sensitivity of populations of visual neurons to aspects of contrast and pattern. A simple transformation of VEP responses elicited by these stimuli separates components that reflect complex aspects of visual
