Visual processing depends critically on the receptive field(RF)properties of visual neurons.However,comprehensive characterization of RFs beyond primary visual cortex(V1)remains a challenge.Here we re
In vertebrates,perception of sound,motion,and balance is mediated through sensorineural hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons located within the inner ear.Hair cells are only generated during a short
The primary visual cortex(V1) in primates performs a fine spatial analysis of the visual world,with the highest visual acuity in the cortical area corresponding to the fovea of the retina.
[Objectives] To investigate the important structural pathway of insect visual signal processing by observing and describing the histological structural features of the compound eyes and optic lobes of
Objective Using optical intrinsic signal(OIS)imaging we found an antagonistic spatial pattern of positive and negative OIS responses(POR and NOR)in cats visual cortex by transcorneal electrical stimul
Objective Brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)is known to regulate neuronal differentiation and survival in the central nervous system.For a number of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders,BD
The Pinna illusion is a striking example of rotation perception in the absence of real physical motion.Upon approaching or receding from the Pinna-Brelstaff figure,the observer experiences vivid illus
The purpose of this study was to determine whether aldosterone has a rapid action in the nucleus tractus solitarius(NTS) that increases sodium intake,and to examine whether this effect of aldosterone,
Adenosine triphosphate(ATP)and its hydrolysis product,adenosine diphosphate(ADP),have been proved to be significant neurotransmitters on neuronal signal transmission.ATP and ADP play important roles i
Transient receptor potential(TRP)proteins are a family of ion channels central for sensory signaling.These receptors and,in particular,those involved in cold/hot sensing are also involved in pain sign
