Global Processing in Amblyopia: A Review
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual system that is associated with disrupted binocular vision during early childhood. There is evidence that the effects of amblyopia extend beyond the primary visual cortex to regions of the dorsal ...

Top-down effects on early visual processing in humans: a predictive coding framework [PDF]
, 2011 An increasing number of human electroencephalography (EEG) studies examining the earliest component of the visual evoked potential, the so-called C1, have cast doubts on the previously prevalent notion that this component is impermeable to top-down ...

Termination of afferent axons in macaque striate cortex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1983 We used horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to orthogradely label afferent axons in macaque striate cortex. Of the 38 axons that we recovered, nine were recorded intracellularly before being filled with HRP. Light microscope and computer reconstructions of filled processes reveal highly stereotyped patterns of arborization and suggest that there are at least ...

Hominoid‐specific calretinin‐immunopositivity of the optic radiation (geniculocalcarine tract)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Calretinin‐immunostained coronal section through the primary (V1) and extrastriate (ExSt) cortex of the lar gibbon. Note that the optic radiation (OR) is strongly calretinin‐immunoreactive. This calretinin‐immunopositivity of the OR distinguishes the Hominoidea from other primates in terms of the neurochemistry of the OR.

Towards a Theory of the Laminar Architecture of Cerebral Cortex: Computational Clues from the Visual System [PDF]
, 2001 One of the most exciting and open research frontiers in neuroscience is that of seeking to understand the functional roles of the layers of cerebral cortex.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

A Neural Model of How Horizontal and Interlaminar Connections of Visual Cortex Develop into Adult Circuits that Carry Out Perceptual Grouping and Learning [PDF]
, 2000 A neural model suggests how horizontal and interlaminar connections in visual cortical areas Vl and V2 develop within a laminar cortical architecture and give rise to adult visual percepts.

Saccades and drifts differentially modulate neuronal activity in V1: Effects of retinal image motion, position, and extraretinal influences [PDF]
, 2008 In natural vision, continuously changing input is generated by fast saccadic eye movements and slow drifts. We analyzed effects of fixational saccades, voluntary saccades, and drifts on the activity of macaque V1 neurons.

Exploring the role of apolipoprotein ε4 in progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1
Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1 (EPM1) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by biallelic variants in the cystatin B (CSTB) gene. Despite a progressive course, phenotype severity varies among patients, even within families. We studied the potential role of APOE ε4 in modifying phenotypic diversity in EPM1, given its established
