Can retinal ganglion cell dipoles seed iso-orientation domains in the visual cortex? [PDF]
It has been argued that the emergence of roughly periodic orientation preference maps (OPMs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of carnivores and primates can be explained by a so-called statistical connectivity model.

The effect of cortical and subcortical parcel volumes on postictal generalized EEG suppression
Abstract Objective Alterations to brain structures and networks involved in central autonomic and respiratory control are possible biomarkers of SUDEP, but were mainly demonstrated in people at high risk. Postictal generalized EEG suppression (PGES) has been recorded in every case of near or confirmed SUDEP. The structural alterations underpinning PGES

A case with Herpes Zoster Oticus involving multipl cranial nerves
Herpes Zoster Oticus described a virus caused by facial nerve paralysis associated with herpetic eruption of the pinna and suggested that it resulted from a geniculate ganglionitis.

ABSTRACT Natural AAV serotypes often lack specificity and efficiency, leading to off‐target effects and a low therapeutic index. To overcome these limitations of naturally occurring serotypes, there has been a keen interest in the field to engineer novel capsids to enhance tissue and cell‐specific targeting, resulting in a high number of published ...

Background Retina and/or optic nerve injury may cause irreversible blindness, due to degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. We and others have previously shown that the intravitreal injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) protects injured retinal ...

Sleep neuroimaging: Review and future directions
Summary Sleep research has evolved considerably since the first sleep electroencephalography recordings in the 1930s and the discovery of well‐distinguishable sleep stages in the 1950s. While electrophysiological recordings have been used to describe the sleeping brain in much detail, since the 1990s neuroimaging techniques have been applied to uncover

Modeling Reverse-Phi Motion-Selective Neurons in Cortex: Double Synaptic-Veto Mechanism [PDF]
Reverse-phi motion is the illusory reversal of perceived direction of movement when the stimulus contrast is reversed in successive frames. Livingstone, Tsao, and Conway (2000) showed that direction-selective cells in striate cortex of the alert macaque ...

Contributions of VLDLR and LRP8 in the establishment of retinogeniculate projections [PDF]
Background Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the retina, project to over 20 distinct brain nuclei, including the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), a thalamic region comprised of three functionally distinct subnuclei: the ventral LGN ...

Brain and retina in Alzheimer's disease: Pathological intersections and estimates from imaging
Abstract Recent studies have highlighted retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging as a promising biomarker for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review connects AD brain pathology – particularly amyloid beta (Aβ), tau, and vascular changes – with corresponding retinal changes.

Secondary post-geniculate involvement in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration with the preferential involvement of those forming the papillomacular bundle. The optic nerve is considered the main pathological target for LHON. Our
