Perception of duration in the parvocellular system [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 Both theoretical and experimental evidence suggests that duration perception is mediated preferentially by the colour-blind but high temporally sensitive luminance pathway.

Nonapeptide cell size differs between male morphs of the West African cichlid, Pelvicachromis pulcher. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Alternative male morphs are found in many species of fishes. These morphs often differ in suites of social behaviours, such as aggression and territoriality, associated with alternative reproductive tactics. Such consistent morph‐typical behavioural profiles suggest common differences in underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms.

The Impacts of Pregnancy on Cognition and Cell Proliferation in a Live-Bearing Fish (Poeciliopsis gracilis). [PDF]
Eur J NeurosciWe assessed the impact of pregnancy on cognition and cell proliferation in the live‐bearing fish Poeciliopsis gracilis. Pregnant females showed reduced spatial learning but unchanged reversal learning, alongside decreased cell proliferation in the olfactory bulb and ventral telencephalon, indicating pregnancy‐induced cognitive and neural changes in a ...

Metacognition in putative magno- and parvocellular vision. [PDF]
Neurosci ConsciousAbstract A major distinction in early visual processing is the magnocellular (MC) and parvocellular (PC) pathways. Prior work has theorized that the PC pathway more strongly contributes to conscious object recognition via projections to the ventral ``what'' visual pathway, whereas the MC pathway underlies non-conscious, action-oriented ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 Humans have the remarkable ability to efficiently group elements of a scene together to form a global whole. However, cross-cultural comparisons show that East Asian individuals process scenes more globally than White individuals.

Effects of stresscopin on rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The effects of stresscopin (SCP) on rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons were examined using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and single-cell reverse-transcription multiplex polymerase chain reaction (SC-RT-mPCR) techniques.

Mu Opioid Receptor mRNA and Protein Localization Across the Rat and Mouse Habenula. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolMu opioid receptor (MOR) mRNA was detected with RNAscope in situ hybridization for Oprm1 and protein was detected with immunocytochemistry to map the distributions across the anterior‐posterior extent of the rat and mouse habenula. Expression distribution was also characterized in a transgenic reporter mouse line (Oprm1‐Venus/Venus) as an additional ...
