Spatiotemporal profiles of receptive fields of neurons in the lateral posterior nucleus of the cat LP-pulvinar complex.
The pulvinar is the largest extrageniculate thalamic visual nucleus in mammals. It establishes reciprocal connections with virtually all visual cortexes and likely plays a role in transthalamic cortico-cortical communication. In cats, the lateral posterior nucleus (LP) of the LP-pulvinar complex can be subdivided in two subregions, the lateral (LPl) and medial (LPm) parts, which receive a predo...
متن کاملVisual receptive fields in the striate-recipient zone of the lateral posterior-pulvinar complex.
The lateral posterior (LP)-pulvinar complex of the cat is known to contain multiple visual areas. In the present study, we examined the receptive field properties of single neurons isolated in the lateral division of this complex (the LPI). The LPI is designated the striate-recipient zone because it is the only region of the LP-pulvinar receiving cortical projections from areas 17 and 18. The r...
متن کاملGlobal motion integration in the cat's lateral posterior-pulvinar complex.
Our laboratory previously showed that thalamic neurons in an extrageniculate nucleus, the lateral posterior-pulvinar complex (LP-pulvinar) could perform higher-order neuronal operations that had until then only been attributed to higher-level cortical areas. To further assess the role of the thalamus in the analysis of complex percepts, we have investigated whether neurons in the LP-pulvinar co...
متن کاملThalamocortical and the dual pattern of corticothalamic projections of the posterior parietal cortex in macaque monkeys.
The corticothalamic projection includes a main, modulatory projection from cortical layer VI terminating with small endings whereas a less numerous, driving projection from layer V forms giant endings. Such dual pattern of corticothalamic projections is well established in rodents and cats for many cortical areas. In non-human primates (monkeys), it has been reported for the primary sensory cor...
متن کاملScaling of neuron number and volume of the pulvinar complex in New World primates: comparisons with humans, other primates, and mammals.
The lateral posterior nucleus and pulvinar (LP-pulvinar complex) are the principal thalamic nuclei associated with the elaborate development of the dorsal and ventral streams of the parietal cortex in primates. In humans, a novel site of origin for a subpopulation of pulvinar neurons has been observed, the ganglionic eminence of the telencephalon. This additional site of neuron origin has been ...
