A Model of Feedback to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
نویسنده
چکیده
Simplified models of the lateral geniculate nucles (LGN) and striate cortex illustrate the possibility that feedback to the LG N may be used for robust, low-level pattern analysis. The information fed back to the LG N is rebroadcast to cortex using the LG N 's full fan-out, so the cortex-LGN-cortex pathway mediates extensive cortico-cortical communication while keeping the number of necessary connections small.

Histological and Biochemical Alterations in the Superior Colliculus and Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of Juvenile Rats Following Prenatal Exposure to Marijuana Smoke
Prenatal exposure to marijuana has been associated with a variety of brain deficits, as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its main active ingredient crosses the placenta and affects foetal brain development. Despite this effect, marijuana remains a commonly abused substance among pregnant women. In the current study, we examined the histological and biochemical changes in the superior colliculus (...
متن کاملLinear mechanistic models for the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of cat probed using drifting-grating stimuli.
Experiments with sinusoidal visual stimuli in the early visual pathway have traditionally been interpreted in terms of descriptive filter models. We present an alternative mechanistic approach for interpretation of this type of data recorded from X cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of cat. A general, linear, rate-based mathematical expression for the geniculate transfer rati...
متن کاملThe effect of feedback inhibition on throughput properties of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus
The effect of feedback inhibition from thalamic reticular cells on retinogeniculate transmission by thalamocortical neurons of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus is analyzed using a minimal integrate-and-fire-or-burst network model. Potassium leakage conductances control the neuromodulatory state of the network and eliminate rhythmic bursting in the presence of spontaneous input. During osci...
متن کاملFunctional synaptic contacts by intranuclear axon collaterals of thalamic relay neurons.
Relay neurons of the lateral geniculate nucleus innervate visual cortex, but they also provide axonal collaterals to neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus, and these thalamic reticular neurons provide feedback inhibition to relay cells. An alternative source of inhibitory inputs onto geniculate relay neurons arises from intralaminar interneurons that provide feedforward inhibition via retin...
متن کاملPredictive Feedback Can Account for Biphasic Responses in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
Biphasic neural response properties, where the optimal stimulus for driving a neural response changes from one stimulus pattern to the opposite stimulus pattern over short periods of time, have been described in several visual areas, including lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), primary visual cortex (V1), and middle temporal area (MT). We describe a hierarchical model of predictive coding and si...
