Changes in Visual Responses in the Feline dLGN: Selective Thalamic Suppression Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of V1
(Oxford University Press, 2006-08-14)
[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cortex can modify activity noninvasively and produce either excitatory or inhibitory effects, depending on stimulus parameters. Here we demonstrate controlled ...
The primate pulvinar nuclei: vision and action
(Elsevier, 2000)
[Abstract] The pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus are proportionately larger in higher mammals, particularly in primates, and account for a quarter of the total mass. Traditionally, these nuclei have been divided into oral ...
Visual response augmentation in cat (and macaque) LGN: potentiation by corticofugally mediated gain control in the temporal domain
(Wiley, 2001-12-24)
[Abstract] Visual responses of neurons are dependent on the context of a stimulus, not only in spatial terms but also temporally, although evidence for temporally separate visual influences is meagre, based mainly on studies ...
Effects on EEG of low (1Hz) and high (15Hz) frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the visual cortex: a study in the anesthetized cat
(Bentham Open, 2007-12-07)
[Abstract] Here we confirm our earlier findings that showed 1Hz rTMS over the primary visual cortex of the anesthetized cat, known to cause inhibition of the cortex, induces an increase in power in the slow, delta band of ...
Receptive field structure of burst and tonic firing in feline lateral geniculate nucleus
(Wiley, 2003-09-12)
There are two recognised modes of firing activity in thalamic cells, burst and tonic. A low-threshold (LT) burst (referred to from now on as ‘burst’) comprises a small number of high-frequency action potentials riding the ...
Mixed burst and tonic firing in the thalamus: a study in the feline lateral geniculate nucleus in vivo
(Elsevier, 2009)
[Abstract] Compounds known to inhibit or disfacilitate cells in cat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) were applied iontophoretically in vivo. Application of GABA, or agonists of GABAA and GABAB receptors, markedly ...
