Effects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex
TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
متن کاملInhibitory circuits for visual processing in thalamus.
Synapses made by local interneurons dominate the intrinsic circuitry of the mammalian visual thalamus and influence all signals traveling from the eye to cortex. Here we draw on physiological and computational analyses of receptive fields in the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus to describe how inhibition helps to enhance selectivity for stimulus features in space and time and to improve the eff...
متن کاملLinking the Laminar Circuits of Visual Cortex to Visual Perception
A detailed neural model is being developed of how the laminar circuits of visual cortical areas Vl and V2 implement context-sensitive binding processes such as perceptual grouping and attention, and develop and learn in a stable way. The model clarifies how preattentive and attentive perceptual mechanisms are linked within these laminar circuits, notably how bottom-up, top-down, and horizontal ...
متن کاملVisual Cortex: Neurons and Local Circuits
Over 50% of the non-human primate neocortex is involved in visual processing, compared to about 11% for somatosensory, 8% for motor, and 3% for . The visual processing takes place in many different areas auditory processing of neocortex and they are connected together in a hierarchy. The primary visual cortex, which receives the earliest visual input, comprises less than 10% of the cortex (10 n...
متن کاملInvestigating Shape Representation in Intermediate Areas of Visual Cortex
The Problem: The ventral pathway of the primate cortex is thought to mediate object recognition. Neurons within this pathway are classified in a hierarchical structure and exhibit selectivity to increasingly complex visual stimuli. The computational mechanisms that produce neural selectivity within this hierarchy are not well understood. This study investigates the computational mechanisms that...
