Knowledge of the anatomy and functioning of the central compartments of the visual system not only allows the topical characteristics of pathological processes in the brain to be identified, but also supports evaluation of the outcomes of surgical and radiation treatment of patients....
Free-flying bees learn efficiently to solve numerous visual tasks. Yet, the neural underpinnings of this capacity remain unexplored. We used a 3D virtual reality (VR) environment to study visual learning and determine if it leads to changes in immediate early gene (IEG) expression in specific ar...

show a clear dissociation between the delayed-comparison task, in which we did not find evidence for sustained activity in early visual cortex during the delay period, and the detection and discrimination tasks, for which early visual cortex was active even during the visual-stimulus-free delay. ...

Propagating waves occur in many excitable media and were recently found in neural systems from retina to neocortex. While propagating waves are clearly present under anaesthesia, whether they also appear during awake and conscious states remains unclear.
These larger groupings are organized by guides such as Alcohol and Drugs, Anatomy and physiology, and Animals, to name a few. There are also collections on development of birth control, eugenics, heredity and genetics, and treatment and therapy. While it appears that all of the information is...
These data summarize activation in the amygdala and fusiform gyrus for the fear versus neutral and the happy versus neutral contrast in the first experiment. “Anatomy” identifies the gyrus of structure using the nomenclature of Talairach and Tournoux 1988, while BA indicates the probable Brodman ...
This chapter examines multifaceted intersections between art and mental health in the first half of the twentieth century. Art was an arena in which approaches to psychological health were not only produced and developed but also challenged and even expl
Although critical questions remain, decades of research into the anatomy and physiology of corticothalamic (CT) circuitry across systems and species have revealed a number of common motifs. For instance, most glutamatergic synapses in the thalamus fall into two major categories, characterized by differe...
