Neuroimaging weighs in: humans meet macaques in "primate" visual cortex.
From pseudocolor to action potentials, and back One of the most pressing questions now is what does fMRI “activity” indicate, in terms of (electrical) neural activity (Logothetis et al., 2001). Current conclusions about the fMRI– electrophysiology relationship may change as data are acquired from brain areas beyond primary visual cortex, after testing additional stimuli and using different expe...
متن کاملGABAA receptor subunit immunoreactivity in primate visual cortex: distribution in macaques and humans and regulation by visual input in adulthood.
Subunit proteins that make up functional GABAA receptors were localized immunocytochemistry in the primary visual cortex (area 17) of adult monkeys and humans. Immunoreactivity for the alpha 1, beta 2/3, and gamma 2 subunits is greatest in layers (II-III, IVA and IVC) of monkey area 17 that contain the highest density of GABA neurons and terminals. Immunostaining for each subunit is unevenly di...
متن کاملMechanisms of Sensitivity Loss due to Visual Cortex Lesions in Humans and Macaques.
This study represents the first use of noise masking and signal detection theory to examine mechanisms of visual loss after lesions of visual cortex. Noise-masked contrast thresholds were increased in 2 macaques and 2 humans at lesion-affected, compared with control, regions of their visual fields. Experiments suggested by the organization of visual cortex examined possible mechanisms of the vi...
متن کاملHow Is Pain Influenced by Cognition? Neuroimaging Weighs In.
Neuroimaging can inform cognitive theories to the extent that particular patterns of brain activity are sensitively and specifically associated with particular types of cognitive processes. We illustrate the utility of neuroimaging data in one specific case: understanding cognitive influences on pain. We first argue that pain self-reports are often inadequate to fully characterize pain experien...
متن کاملThe organization of dorsal frontal cortex in humans and macaques.
The human dorsal frontal cortex has been associated with the most sophisticated aspects of cognition, including those that are thought to be especially refined in humans. Here we used diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) in humans and macaques to infer and compare the organization of dorsal frontal cortex in the two species. Using DW-MRI tractography-...
