A Neural Model of Surface Perception: Lightness, Anchoring, and Filling-in [PDF]
This article develops a neural model of how the visual system processes natural images under variable illumination conditions to generate surface lightness percepts. Previous models have clarified how the brain can compute the relative contrast of images

Comprehensive Segmentation of Deep Grey Nuclei From Structural MRI Data
The proposed deep grey nuclei pipeline can either work on white‐matter‐nulled (WMn) MPRAGE or standard T1 data, which gets converted to WMn‐like contrast prior to segmentation, which uses a multi‐atlas framework. In addition to 12 thalamic nuclei, 8 other structures comprising the basal ganglia, red nucleus, claustrum, and amygdala are segmented ...

Reduced mTORC1-signalling in retinal progenitor cells leads to visual pathway dysfunction
Development of the vertebrate central nervous system involves the co-ordinated differentiation of progenitor cells and the establishment of functional neural networks.

Overview of the proposed spatiotemporal dense prediction framework. The model takes 4D fMRI data as input and generates dynamic brain maps that evolve over time. The input is first patchified into a sequence of spatiotemporal tokens. A Vision Transformer (ViT) encoder is used to model complex spatial and temporal dependencies across these tokens.

Establishing neuronal identity in vertebrate neurogenic placodes [PDF]
The trigeminal and epibranchial placodes of vertebrate embryos form different types of sensory neurons. The trigeminal placodes form cutaneous sensory neurons that innervate the face and jaws, while the epibranchial placodes (geniculate, petrosal and ...

Morphometric analyses of the visual pathways in macular degeneration
Introduction. Macular degeneration (MD) causes central visual field loss. When field defects occur in both eyes and overlap, parts of the visual pathways are no longer stimulated.

Leveraging Fiber Photometry to Decipher Neural Circuits Underlying Anxiety in Mice
ABSTRACT Anxiety disorders rank among the most prevalent mental health conditions worldwide, significantly affecting patients' lives. They are frequently comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, often exacerbating their severity. Current pharmacological treatments; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and benzodiazepines, remain limited in

Temporal Dynamics of Binocular Disparity Processing with Corticogeniculate Interactions [PDF]
A neural model is developed to probe how corticogeniculate feedback may contribute to the dynamics of binocular vision. Feedforward and feedback interactions among retinal, lateral geniculate, and cortical simple and complex cells are used to simulate ...

Spatiotemporal adaptation through corticothalamic loops: A hypothesis [PDF]
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its control over cortical responses is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic processing has been ...
