Trait-like visual cortical hyperactivity in trait anxiety [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSensory processing varies across individuals, with some traits—particularly sensory hypersensitivity to basic non-valenced stimuli—linked to emotional traits and psychiatric risk.

Visual Neuroplasticity: Modulating Cortical Excitability with Flickering Light Stimulation [PDF]
Journal of ImagingThe balance between cortical excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) in the cerebral cortex is critical for cognitive processing and neuroplasticity. Modulation of this balance has been linked to a wide range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative ...

Selective vulnerability of parvocellular oxytocin neurons in social dysfunction [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSelective vulnerability offers a conceptual framework for understanding neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, where specific neuronal types are selectively affected and adjacent ones are spared.

Visual motion thresholds mapped to midget and parasol ganglion cell topography in the human retina [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMotion in visual images can be described in terms of changes in phases of Fourier components (phase cues), or displacements in the position of specific features (position cues) over time. Human observers are able to perceive motion using both cues, where

Reduced Visual Magnocellular Event-Related Potentials in Developmental Dyslexia
Brain Sciences, 2021 (1) Background—the magnocellular hypothesis proposes that impaired development of the visual timing systems in the brain that are mediated by magnocellular (M-) neurons is a major cause of dyslexia.

Spatial Frequency Tuning of Body Inversion Effects
Brain Sciences, 2023 Body inversion effects (BIEs) reflect the deployment of the configural processing of body stimuli. BIE modulates the activity of body-selective areas within both the dorsal and the ventral streams, which are tuned to low (LSF) or high spatial frequencies

Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: How abnormal visual experiences early in life influence human subcortical pathways is poorly understood. Using high-resolution fMRI and pathway-selective visual stimuli, we investigate the influence of amblyopia on response properties and the ...

Changes in CRH and ACTH synthesis during experimental and human septic shock. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The mechanisms of septic shock-associated adrenal insufficiency remain unclear. This study aimed at investigating the synthesis of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and vasopressin (AVP) by parvocellular neurons and the antehypophyseal expression of ...

The Dominant Eye: Dominant for Parvo- But Not for Magno-Biased Stimuli?
Vision, 2020 Eye dominance is often defined as a preference for the visual input of one eye to the other. Implicit in this definition is the dominant eye has better visual function. Several studies have investigated the effect of visual direction or defocus on ocular
