Hierarchical organization of areas in rat visual cortex.
To test the hypothesis that areas within rat visual cortex are organized in a multilevel hierarchy, we have employed Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin as an anterograde axonal tracer to visualize the laminar patterns of connections between different cortical areas. For identification of cortical areas, we used a combination of markers that included callosal connections, the patterns of inputs ...
متن کاملOrganization of Visual Areas in Macaque and Human Cerebral Cortex
Introduction. The mammalian visual system contains numerous visual areas that collectively occupy a large fraction of cerebral cortex. For cortical cartographers interested in vision, a fundamental set of objectives is to identify in key species of interest the overall extent of visual cortex, the total number of visual areas, the identities of these areas, and their location in relation to one...
متن کاملPrimed-burst potentiation in adult rat visual cortex in vitro
The effectiveness of θ pattern primed-bursts (PBs) on development of primed-burst (PB) potentiation was investigated in layer II/III of the adult rat visual cortex in vitro. Experiments were carried out in the visual cortical slices. Population excitatory post-synaptic potentials (pEPSPs) were evoked in layer II/III by stimulation of either white mater or layer IV. To induce long-term potenti...
متن کاملEffects of visual deprivation on epileptic activity in mature rat visual cortex
Effects of visual deprivation on the induction of epileptiform activity were studied in layer II/III of mature rat primary visual cortex. Field potentials were evoked by stimulation of layer IV in slices from control and dark-reared (OR) rats. Picrotoxin (PTX)-induced epileptic activity was characterized by spontaneous and evoked epileptic field potentials (EFPs). The results showed that OR s...
متن کاملVisual cortex organization in primates: theories of V3 and adjoining visual areas.
After years of experimentation and substantial progress, there is still only limited agreement on how visual cortex in primates is organized, and what features of this organization are variable or stable across lines of primate phylogeny. Only three visual areas, V1, V2, and MT, are widely recognized as common to all primates, although there are certainly more. Here we consider various concepts...
