Lamination of primary visual cortex in the macaque: Layer 5 subdivisions
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We show a previously unrecognized trilaminar cytoarchitectonic organization within layer 5 of the opercular portion of the macaque primary visual cortex (V1), denoted as sub‐laminae 5Aα, 5Aβ, and 5B, a region which is involved in foveal and central visual field analyses.

Prediabetic cardiomyopathy is attenuated by hypothalamic PVN oxytocin neuron activation
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend A long‐term high‐fat, high‐fructose diet induces prediabetes with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia, elevated triglycerides and metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in male rats. Animals developed prediabetic cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis and tachycardia ...

Molecular Metabolism, 2018 Objective: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most potent orexigenic peptides. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a major locus where NPY exerts its effects on energy homeostasis.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 The magnocellular system has been implicated in the rapid processing of facial emotions, such as fear. Of the various anatomical possibilities, the retino-colliculo-pulvinar route to the amygdala is currently favored. However, it is not clear whether and

Amacrine cell inputs to OFF midget ganglion cells in macaque retina
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The goal of this study was to explain the findings from physiological studies that OFF midget ganglion cells had larger receptive field centers than expected from their dendritic field diameters. First, we confirmed that OFF mRGCs (OFF MGC) receive input from diffuse bipolar cells (DB) as well as OFF midget bipolar cells (FMB ...

Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Current research has shown that the magnocellular system may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. The current study explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities; we examined the hypothesis that a ...

An analgesic pathway from parvocellular oxytocin neurons to the periaqueductal gray in rats
Nature Communications, 2023 The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin exerts analgesic effects, but the underlying pathways remain largely elusive. Here, the authors describe an analgesic pathway formed by oxytocin neurons projecting to the periaqueductal grey, where axonally released

Contextual Modulation of Feedforward Inputs to Primary Visual Cortex
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 Throughout the brain, parallel processing streams compose the building blocks of complex neural functions. One of the most salient models for studying the functional specialization of parallel visual streams in the primate brain is the lateral geniculate
