• Endocannabinoid CB1 receptors modulate visual output from the thalamus 

      Dasilva, Miguel A.; Grieve, Kenneth; Cudeiro, Javier; Rivadulla, Casto (Springer, 2011-07-20)
      [Abstract] Rationale Endocannabinoids have emerged as a modulatory brain system affecting different types of synapses, broadly distributed throughout the CNS, which explain the diverse psychophysical effects observed ...
    • Figure-ground modulation in awake primate thalamus 

      Jones, Helen E.; Andolina, Ian M.; Shipp, Stewart D.; Adams, Daniel L.; Cudeiro, Javier; Salt, Thomas E.; Sillito, Adam M. (National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
      [Abstract] Figure-ground discrimination refers to the perception of an object, the figure, against a nondescript background. Neural mechanisms of figure-ground detection have been associated with feedback interactions ...
    • Modulatory effects mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells 

      Labra, Carmen de; Rivadulla, Casto; Cudeiro, Javier (Wiley, 2005-01-18)
      [Abstract] Glutamate is thought to be the excitatory neurotransmitter in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the cat, mediating visual transmission from the retina via ionotropic receptors of both d,l-α-amino-3-hydro ...
    • Sight and insight – on the physiological role of nitric oxide in the visual system 

      Cudeiro, Javier; Rivadulla, Casto (Elsevier, 1999-03-01)
      [Abstract] Research in the fields of cellular communication and signal transduction in the brain has moved very rapidly in recent years. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the latest discoveries in the arena of messenger molecules. ...
