Cell non-autonomous requirement of p75 in the development of geniculate oral sensory neurons
Scientific Reports, 2020 During development of the peripheral taste system, oral sensory neurons of the geniculate ganglion project via the chorda tympani nerve to innervate taste buds in fungiform papillae. Germline deletion of the p75 neurotrophin receptor causes dramatic axon

Dorsal lateral geniculate substructure in the Long-Evans rat: A cholera toxin B-subunit study [PDF]
Front. Neuroanat. 6:40 (2012), 2012 This study describes the substructure of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus of the pigmented rat (Rattus norvegicus) based on the eye-of-origin of its retinal ganglion cell inputs. We made monocular intra-ocular injections of the B-subunit of cholera toxin (CTB), a sensitive anterograde tracer, in three adult male Long-Evans rats. In

Varicella-zoster virus reactivation from multiple ganglia: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009 Introduction Simultaneous involvements of multiple cranial nerve ganglia (geniculate ganglion and peripheral ganglia of cranial nerves VIII, IX and X) by varicella-zoster virus and its subsequent activation may result in the characteristic eruptions of ...

Functional evidence for cone-specific connectivity in the human retina [PDF]
, 2009 NoPhysiological studies of colour vision have not yet resolved the controversial issue of how chromatic opponency is constructed at a neuronal level. Two competing theories, the cone-selective hypothesis and the random-wiring hypothesis, are currently ...

Regional specialization of the tongue revealed by gustatory ganglion imaging
iScience, 2022 Summary: Gustatory information is relayed from the anterior tongue by geniculate ganglion neurons and from the posterior tongue by neurons of the petrosal portion of the jugular/nodose/petrosal ganglion complex.

How lateral inhibition and fast retinogeniculo-cortical oscillations create vision: A new hypothesis [PDF]
, 2016 The role of the physiological processes involved in human vision escapes clarification in current literature. Many unanswered questions about vision include: 1) whether there is more to lateral inhibition than previously proposed, 2) the role ...

Retinal oscillations carry visual information to cortex [PDF]
, 2008 Thalamic relay cells fire action potentials that transmit information from retina to cortex. The amount of information that spike trains encode is usually estimated from the precision of spike timing with respect to the stimulus.

Insulin-Like Growth Factors Are Expressed in the Taste System, but Do Not Maintain Adult Taste Buds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Growth factors regulate cell growth and differentiation in many tissues. In the taste system, as yet unknown growth factors are produced by neurons to maintain taste buds.

A new framework for Euclidean summary statistics in the neural spike train space [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2015, Vol. 9, No. 3, 1278-1297, 2015 Statistical analysis and inference on spike trains is one of the central topics in the neural coding. It is of great interest to understand the underlying structure of given neural data. Based on the metric distances between spike trains, recent investigations have introduced the notion of an average or prototype spike train to characterize the ...
