Does shape discrimination by the mouth activate the parietal and occipital lobes? - near-infrared spectroscopy study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
A cross-modal association between somatosensory tactile sensation and parietal and occipital activities during Braille reading was initially discovered in tests with blind subjects, with sighted and blindfolded healthy subjects used as controls. However,

Investigating unique environmental contributions to the neural representation of written words: a monozygotic twin study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The visual word form area (VWFA) is a region of left inferior occipitotemporal cortex that is critically involved in visual word recognition. Previous studies have investigated whether and how experience shapes the functional characteristics of VWFA by ...

Hue maps in primate striate cortex [PDF]

NeuroImage, 2007
The macaque striate cortex (V1) contains neurons that respond preferentially to various hues. The properties of these hue-selective neurons have been studied extensively at the single-unit level, but it is unclear how stimulus hue is represented by the distribution of activity across neuronal populations in V1.

Glucose hypometabolism in the visual cortex proportional to disease severity in patients with essential blepharospasm

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Essential blepharospasm (EB) causes difficulty in eyelid opening because of involuntary movements of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Patients with EB have functional visual loss due to sustained eyelid closure. We examined cerebral glucose metabolism in 39

Functional Organization of Visual Cortex in the Owl Monkey [PDF]

, 2004
In this study, we compared the organization of orientation preference in visual areas V1, V2, and V3. Within these visual areas, we also quantified the relationship between orientation preference and cytochrome oxidase (CO) staining patterns. V1 maps of

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]

, 2001
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...

Towards a 'canonical' agranular cortical microcircuit

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
Based on regularities in the intrinsic microcircuitry of cortical areas, variants of a 'canonical' cortical microcircuit have been proposed and widely adopted, particularly in computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics.

Coordinated optimization of visual cortical maps (II) Numerical studies [PDF]

, 2012
It is an attractive hypothesis that the spatial structure of visual cortical architecture can be explained by the coordinated optimization of multiple visual cortical maps representing orientation preference (OP), ocular dominance (OD), spatial frequency,

Audiovisual Blindsight: Audiovisual learning in the absence of primary visual cortex

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Learning audiovisual associations is mediated by the primary cortical areas; however, recent animal studies suggest that such learning can take place even in the absence of the primary visual cortex.

Abnormal intra-network architecture in extra-striate cortices in amblyopia: a resting state fMRI study

Eye and Vision, 2019
Background Amblyopia (lazy eye) is one of the most common causes of monocular visual impairment. Intensive investigation has shown that amblyopes suffer from a range of deficits not only in the primary visual cortex but also the extra-striate visual ...
