Modulatory effects mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells
(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 ...
Endocannabinoid CB1 receptors modulate visual output from the thalamus
(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 ...
Sight and insight – on the physiological role of nitric oxide in the visual system
(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. ...
Figure-ground modulation in awake primate thalamus
(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 ...
