Study on the mechanism of visual aging in cats’ primary visual cortex based on BDNF-TrkB signal pathway

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
To explore the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and specific receptor tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) in the primary visual cortex of young and old cats, especially to reveal the age-related differences in the mediating mechanism ...

Magnetic Suppression of Perceptual Accuracy Is Not Reduced in Visual Snow Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Objective: Patients with visual snow syndrome (VSS) suffer from continuous (“TV snow-like”) visual disturbance of unknown pathoetiology. In VSS, changes in cortical excitability in the primary visual cortex and the visual association cortex are discussed,

Contextual modulation of primary visual cortex by auditory signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Early visual cortex receives non-feedforward input from lateral and top-down connections (Muckli & Petro 2013 Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 23, 195–201. (doi:10.1016/j.conb.2013.01.020)), including long-range projections from auditory areas.

Traveling Waves in Visual Cortex [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2012
Electrode recordings and imaging studies have revealed that localized visual stimuli elicit waves of activity that travel across primary visual cortex. Traveling waves are present also during spontaneous activity, but they can be greatly reduced by widespread and intensive visual stimulation.

Characterization of primary visual cortex input to specific cell types in the superior colliculus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
The superior colliculus is a critical brain region involved in processing visual information. It receives visual input directly from the retina, as well as via a projection from primary visual cortex. Here we determine which cell types in the superficial

Older Adults Exhibit Greater Visual Cortex Inhibition and Reduced Visual Cortex Plasticity Compared to Younger Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Recent evidence indicates that inhibition within the visual cortex is greater in older than young adults. Increased inhibition has been associated with reduced visual cortex plasticity in animal models.

Frontal cortex selects representations of the talker’s mouth to aid in speech perception

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Human faces contain multiple sources of information. During speech perception, visual information from the talker’s mouth is integrated with auditory information from the talker's voice.

Neuron populations across layer 2-6 in the mouse visual cortex exhibit different coding abilities in the awake mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionThe visual cortex is a key region in the mouse brain, responsible for processing visual information. Comprised of six distinct layers, each with unique neuronal types and connections, the visual cortex exhibits diverse decoding properties ...

Reciprocal anatomical relationship between primary sensory and prefrontal cortices in the human brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The human brain exhibits remarkable interindividual variability in cortical architecture. Despite extensive evidence for the behavioral consequences of such anatomical variability in individual cortical regions, it is unclear whether and how different ...

The visual cortex as a crystal [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2002
A theory of pattern formation in primary visual cortex (V1) is presented that takes into account its crystalline-like structure. The cortex is partitioned into fundamental domains or hypercolumnsof a lattice describing the distribution of singularities or pinwheels in the orientation preference map.
