Interhemispheric Connections Shape Subjective Experience of Bistable Motion
The right and left visual hemifields are represented in different cerebral hemispheres and are bound together by connections through the corpus callosum. Much has been learned on the functions of these connections from split-brain patients [1-4], but little is known about their contribution to conscious visual perception in healthy humans. We used diffusion tensor imaging and functional magneti...
متن کاملInterhemispheric connections of prestriate cortex in monkey.
The prestriate interhemispheric projection system in the monkey is very extensive and complex. To begin to understand it requires a knowledge not only of the topographic organization of the transcallosal prestriate projections themselves, a task which is rendered somewhat difficult by the complexity of the gyral and sulca[ pattern in this region, but also of the manner in which this projection ...
متن کاملPhysiology and Plasticity of Interhemispheric Connections
The corpus callosum (CC for aficionados) is the largest fiber bundle in the brain and establishes connections between the hemispheres, and predominantly, but not solely, between the cortical areas. Functionally mysterious for a long time, it shared with the pineal gland the honor of being considered the site of the soul [1]. The work on split brain in animals and humans performed by Gazzaniga, ...
متن کاملAsymmetry of parietal interhemispheric connections in humans.
Visuospatial abilities are preferentially mediated by the right hemisphere. Although this asymmetry of function is thought to be due to an unbalanced interaction between cerebral hemispheres, the underlying neurophysiological substrate is still largely unknown. Here, using a method of trifocal transcranial magnetic stimulation, we show that the right, but not left, human posterior parietal cort...
متن کاملFunctional selectivity of interhemispheric connections in cat visual cortex.
The functional specificity of callosal connections was investigated in visual areas 17 and 18 of adult cats, by combining in vivo optical imaging of intrinsic signals with labeling of callosal axons. Local injections of neuronal tracers were performed in one hemisphere and eight single callosal axons were reconstructed in the opposite hemisphere. The distributions of injection sites and callosa...
